Depends on what you are doing.
The JDK 1.1.7/1.1.8 is very stable and is what I use on server applications.
(Swing and all of the user interface things are not used there)
I would say that by the time you upgrade there should be a stable final
release of the Java2 platform for Linux. Until then, JDK 1.1.7/1.1.8 are
your best bet.
