This installment has the following restrictios:

This installment has the following restrictions:

Unloading of idle providers is not supported and Java will increase the

memory footprint.

Unloading of idle providers is not supported and Java will increase the memory footprint.

Java 1.5 is not currently supported.

Gcj on 31 bit machines is only supported using gcc version 4.1.1 or later.

Gcj on 64 bit machines is not supported. Bugs 5913, 5921, and 5963 have

been written to address that issue. Instead, you should use the Sun ported

JVM from the Blackdown project located at www.blackdown.org.
