Uncle George did all the work for AlphaLinux before Sun dropped
his license:

http://www.lib.uaa.alaska.edu/axp-list/archive/2000-02/0541.html
"I am no longer able to do anything more about my JDK1.2 port to the Dec/alpha

computer. This is due mainly to the fact that my license has expired, and Sun
et al has thusfar refused to renew, or offer anything in its place. My Last
JDK1.2 port was made avail on December 15, 1999.

Maybe u can ask The folks at Blackdown, or even the guy who wrote that linux
book, when blackdown will support a JDK1.2 for the alpha ( or even a
jdk1.1.x for that matter ).

I'm sorry I cant be of more assistance, But there is nothing more that I can
personally and legally do without the support of the Alpha linux/java
community, and that of the ( once vocal, and now placated ) i386/linux/java
community.
