blackdown has additional ppc/sparc/arm ports. JMF, java3d , customized java
web start, debian installer. java comm api.

Also Blackdown give the opportunity for developers to contribute to the java
on linux product. ie if you find a bug or want to change something its going
to be easier to get them into a blackdown release first
