Sorry the link was not obvious on the Download page.
BTW, it looks like it is only for an old version of Solaris. Solaris 8. I am using the latest Solaris. Solaris 10 on the Intel platform. Which was released over a year ago.
The only reason Sun creates JVMs for Windows, Linux and Solaris is because of market share and support for their own OS. If you look at AIX and HP-UX neither has 6.0 available, why because they still have not finished porting to 6.0 .
Also, I don't see Eclipse having a port to Solaris, which is my primary development environment at work.
I also gotta wonder why people alway need the latest gadgets. Of course, I mainly develop on the server side so things go a little slower there. My company's main product is still running on JDK 1.4.2 part of it is mainly due to the J2EE app server's not being certified for JDK 5.0 early enough. Part of it is that the code base will need quite a few hours of work to make it JDK 5.0 compatible.
BTW, I hate the Eclipse UI plus the use of SWT (i.e. native libraries installed on my OS to support a Java-based program) just seems to defeat the purpose Java. That is to write once and deploy everywhere.
