Yes, I have both 1.4.2 and 1.5 on the 9.3 - packman IIRC. Amazingly, it all seems to work in normal use. And yes, I think it is 32-bit. > I recently upgraded to 1.5.x on 10.2 which is 64 bit java and result was > a little messy, not everything adjusted to the change in setup.

I belong to the "don't upgrade a Suse system, do a clean install" school of thought, so hopefully that's one problem I won't hit. It's one thing I miss from using Debian, where I did trust the upgrade process, but there were so many other things I didn't like :( OTOH, I did select the "install the 32 bit stuff as well" option when I installed 10.2 on my test system, so I'll have to see what Java packages that has translated into.
