The Sun JDK 1.4.2 betas seem to be just fine with it. I've not tested with 1.4.1 just yet. 1.3.x is out of the question. IBM is working on support for NPTL in their Java releases. Expect that later this year. > 2) Is that support required for performance improvements? Required? No. But in order to use older JDKs, you have to tell glibc to use the older thread model, which degrades performance somewhat. For the record, I've been using the jpackage.org nosrc RPMs to build JDK packages for my RHL 9 boxes. Works like a champ. -- ---------------------------------- -- Kevin Sonney -- -- ICQ: 4855069 AIM: ksonney -- ---------------------------------- 320C 0336 3BC4 13EC 4AEC 6AF2 525F CED7 7BB6 12C9 You want it in one line?
