[Aurora-sparc-user] Aurora 2.0 Java? (UltraSPARC 2)

[Scot P. Floess]

Charles:

I've been using the blackdown port of 1.4.1 (hadn't really tried the gcj 
version).  Keep in mind I have done very little with it (as in mostly 
nothing) as I need newer VMs like 1.6...  I wish a more modern version 
were available as I'd probably do more with my Ultra 5's...
