Hi,

Due to recent events, I will no longer be producing JDK's for PowerPC. 

If you or your firm needs a Java Developmnet Kit for PowerPC and if you have 
some time, please consider helping out the Blackdown porting team move forward 
and keep supporting other non-86 platforms.

If at all interested, please contact 

Scott Hutinger at : srh at www.mprojects.wiu.edu

I will be removing the current JDK for Linux PPC site soon (everything has been 
copied to www.linuxppc.org/java/) so nothing will be lost.

I would also be happy to bring anyone who wants, up to speed on the build 
process, etc to help make sure PPC keeps its Java capability going for use with 
Mozilla and other projects.

If anyone knows if IBM has or is considering an Open Source Java platform, I 
would be happy to help contribute to porting it to LinuxPPC.  Please let me 
know.  Unfortunately, kaffe has previously refused my help since I have seen the 
Sun source code.

Also, if anyone needs a 40 something year old former PDP-8 and PDP-11 programmer 
with time on his hands to help out a *true* Open Source project, let me know... 

Thanks,

Kevin
