The problem that might affect me is that some sites use javascript code
that seems to work only with IE. But that's some thing I was not asking
about just now :-)

Ah!... it seems that the -jdbc-1_4_2 is on a different group than the
1_5_0 version, so i didn't find it. And yes, that one has a description.
Same goes for the -alsa one.
Mmm... there are two packages that require the old version, jdictionary y
jedit. I'll try to see if they work anyway.

The problem is deciding what is needed. I'm thinking that java-jdbc («This
package contains the JDBC/ODBC bridge driver for java-1.4.2-sun.») might
be needed for OO database support, that I haven't managed to get working.

No, I don't do java development.
