And now: Sun offers us FINALLY also a 64bit plugin of Java! That's just crazy insane great news for the end of this year. https://jdk6.dev.java.net/6uNea.html
To very bad they were way to late again to have it in our just upcoming 11.1 release... pity.
And it is not yet released, this link points to a beta of update 12.
Correct, nevertheless it's absolutely this kind of news that has to be mentioned. It shows that the companies no longer just ignore us. And what does 'beta' in really mean? It's a tag put on Software to state that you offer less support on it, isn't it?
For some commercial software, we're not allowed to distribute Betas. I'm not sure about Sun Java, I just want to point out that it might be an issue. If it's a final version, we could release it as online update - but I'm not sure we want to release a Beta even if the legal side is ok, Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger, Director Platform / openSUSE, aj@suse.de SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126
