*'''Keep''' Notability is not temporary & it is notable that this was a default package in many Linux distributions. Google Books has a dozen pages of hits for Blackdown Java. Admittedly, some of this coverage is cursory. But there seems to be enough in Building Embedded Linux Systems to source this article & there are InfoWorld and AUGGN articles that provide decent coverage too. --[[User:Karnesky|Karnesky]] ([[User talk:Karnesky|talk]]) 21:46, 26 April 2010 (UTC)
*'''Keep''' or merge with [[JDK]] and perhaps mention in [[OpenJDK]]. It is notable as the 1st Java implementation on Linux, which had Sun's blessing/licensing (see [http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/3424] [[Linux Journal]] story). The article is unlikely to expand beyond its current size, so it's more suitable as a section in the history of the JDK. The Blackdown code did not depart significantly from [[SunSoft,_Inc.|SunSoft]]'s reference implementation, but there were some changes. It's not a matter of deleting this content tough, only where to best place it. We currently don't have good articles on this stuff. SunfSoft's reference implementation was considerably different than Sun's Solaris JDK implementation; the latter had a whole lot of optimizations. There are references about this kind of stuff.
