OpenOffice.org builds for Linux x64 (AMD64/EM64T)
Jens-Heiner Rechtien

Starting with milestone DEV300 m11, Sun (Hamburg) release engineering will regularly build OpenOffice.org for the Linux x64 (aka AMD64, aka EM64T) platform with every new milestone. We have promised this a long time ago, I'm glad that it finally happened. The main purpose is, naturally, to find 64 bit specific build- and obvious runtime problems during the initial milestone build and "smoke test". This should hopefully ease the burden of the maintainers of the OOo 64 bit ports.

We plan to publish 64 bit Linux OOo installation sets with one of the next DEV300 developer snapshots. Many thanks go to the original porters, Caolan, Jan (Kendy), MartinK, Pavel, Stefan and others who did great work here.

 For those who are interested in the details, the installation sets:

As much as I like it, don't you mean x86-64? It's bad enough MS deciding to rename it x64 but Sun shouldn't follow suit. It is a very important technical point that an x86-64 CPU will support x86 code so you really should include x86 as part of the name.

At last! thanks for your work on that!

BTW - I totally agree with Ed
Please refer to an official AMD statement (on Debian AMD64 mailing list):
http://lists.debian.org/debian-amd64/2003/08/msg00031.html
And of course, x86_64, not x86-64 :P

Can we expect a further development of Java for 64 bit systems.

At this time it is not possible for small business to use a 64 bit OS.

Missing features are the browser plugin and the webstart. (as I know)
