Hello everybody,

I am looking for a distibution of Java SDK 1.4.x for Linux with green
threads (NOT native threads). Any advice is welcome.

(SUN binary distribution does not have it, IBM binary distribution does
not have it, blackdown does not have it)

Thank you,

Tomas

Which raises the question: why on earth would you want that?

I believe some old versions of Sun's VM used green threads on Linux, but I
forget whether or not that was still true after Hotspot. Is 1.4 really
neccessary?

Cheers,
Michael Jarrett

OpenMosix cluster. At this point, OpenMosix is unable to migrate anything
that uses shared memory or pthreads. I can elaborate, if you want, but
this is the summary of the problem...

Old Blackdown (1.3.1) have both green and native threads. But we want to
be able to work out all most common applications in current undergrad
environment...

I'm not sure if this helps, but I beleive the JDK for the BSDs may still
be using green threads, though I'm not sure if its up to 1.4.
