The JDK1.5 patchset is marked as alpha quality only. There is another
patchset coming out soon, perhaps in the next month or so; but testing
is still going on.

This is definitely sub-par. Java under the Linuxalator just works
enough to boot strap the native JDK. Wouldn't recommend it for
production usage.

With the native JDK1.4.2. Its been around long enough to be considered
producation capable.
