I running Woody and I have apt-get Java stuff for Woody: only the version 1.3 seems to be available.
So I guess that the version 1.4 is a `testing' version, is it right ? Derrick 'dman' Hudson wrote:

I believe that the two releases are the same. Several years ago the
Blackdown people signed NDAs with Sun so they could get the source
code and port it to linux. Now Sun provides a tarball on their own
web site, but I believe it is the work of blackdown that they
distribute. The advantage to installing from the blackdown site is
they have a .deb package which is apt-gettable. The latest packages
available are :
j2re1.4 - Java runtime, version 1.4 (which is "java 2")
j2sdk1.4 - Java runtime and development tools, version 1.4
j2re1.3 - Java runtime, version 1.3 (which is "java 2")
j2sdk1.3 - Java runtime and development tools, version 1.3

Correct -- There is no Java standard. The closest thing Java has to a
standard is whatever Sun says it is.
