Personally, I have installed the latest JDK 1.2.2 from (I believe Jan,
20) on a Suse 6.1 system with JDE 2.1.6beta20 and emacs 20.5. That
linux system needs upgrading to the glibc 2.1. After that work it
seems that the linux version is similar to the WindowsNT version
except that the windows version of the JDK gives more hints (with
message boxes) about the environment.
