Check http://www.the-love-shack.net/2007/08/30/blackdown-java-retires/ Too bad as flash and java have been a sore spot for 64 bit browser users for years, and even after all these years, Sun and Macromedia (now Adobe, as well a 64 bit Adobe Acrobat Reader I might add), or still AFAIK not in the foreseeable future. I still have the old 1.4.2 64 bit version installed (but I might have deleted the install package :-( ), and after running a 64 bit browser a few versions ago, mine still found the link and I have a 64 bit java plugin that works. But since Blackdown is no more, I cannot tell you if or where you could get it. 1.4.2 is quite old now.
