On October 30, 2008 J2SE 1.4.2 reached the end of its service life (EOSL). Customers interested in learning more about Sun's Java Technology Support and EOL policy

Customers interested in continuing to receive critical fixes, are encouraged to consider the following options:

Migrate to Java SE for Business 1.4.2

Migrate to the latest Java SE release

For developer needs, all products that have completed the EOL transition period will be moved to the Archive area.

Hallo

there is the OSS note 1230512 referring to site http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2 which should be useful.

SAP and Sun have an agreement to keep 1.4.2 available for 3 years.

With kind regards
