Sun distributes a version of java for amd64 at http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/download.jsp and it works great.I've had problems running the Sun JVM on my system, with lots of HotSpot crashes. I downloaded the IBM 1.4.2 JVM for AMD64 Linux, and that has been running much better. Hopefully the final 1.5 release from Sun will be more stable.
