Hi,
It appears that Sun has misplaced or yanked the 1.4.2_04 release of
their JRE and JDK. While up until recently, you could go to
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/download.html and find the 1.4.2_04 kit
linked to, it now is back again to the _03 kit.
You can still download the distfiles for the _04 kits by going to these
two links:
JRE:
http://javashoplm.sun.com/ECom/docs/Welcome.jsp?StoreId=3D22&PartDetailId=
=3Dj2re-1.4.2_04-oth-JPR&SiteId=3DJSC&TransactionId=3Dnoreg
JDK:
http://javashoplm.sun.com/ECom/docs/Welcome.jsp?StoreId=3D22&PartDetailId=
=3Dj2sdk-1.4.2_04-oth-JPR&SiteId=3DJSC&TransactionId=3Dnoreg
I don't know why it's not linked to or why they removed it (the Release
Notes at http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/ReleaseNotes.html still talk
about _04), and I don't know what we should do with the packages, as
they now (again) may lead the user to distfiles mismatching.
Suggestions?
