“Version 1.2.2-RC3 (Release Candidate 3) of the Linux Java 2
port has made it to many of the mirror sites around the world.
There have been a lot of changes and improvements with it; the
README.linux file details some of the highlights.“
“Note that this is not the final version of the Java 2 SDK
Version 1.2.2. A final version will be released when we’ve verified
compatibility with the JCK testsuite and fixed the problems you
possibly report against this release candidate.”
“Also note that this version needs at least a glibc-2.1.2 based
system with a recent 2.2.xx kernel. This build will not run with
glibc-2.0 or glibc-2.1[.1]. The final release may come with builds
for older glibc versions, but the supported version will be based
on glibc-2.1.2 or higher.”
