I'm personally disappointed by Sun's reaction. In November they
announced support for Linux, for the following months we got nothing
from them and nothing when the pre v1 has been released. Linux is not
even in the list of officially supported platforms, despite what they
announced, and there's no way of downloading the current version of
the JDK. This is not what I call supporting a platform. The great
peopla at Blackdown.org did an excellent job but, I agree, the lack of
news for such a long perios is frightening. It doesn't encourage to
invest time and energy in doing Java development on Linux.
