You can certainly get jdk1.3.1 from Blackdown, and this works with the Tomcat 4.0.4 in Woody/Sarge and also (as I found out in the last few days) with Tomcat 4.1.24 in Unstable. I use the following apt sources.list line for JDK deb ftp://ftp.tux.org/pub/java/debian woody main non-free I believe Blackdown has a 1.4 JDK availale. http://blackdown.org/ The problems with Debian and Java have mostly to do with the way Sun licenses certain parts of the Java specification etc.....
