where i can get these downloads,

Sun provides a 64-bit Linux version of 1.4.2 - for Itanium.

1.4 is really old. Why not try new 1.6, which is available for AMD64 Linux.

Just to reassure the OP, Java 6 should run your code just fine. If you are
recompiling source you can set the source level on the rebuild to match your
code if you are using identifiers like "assert" or "enum" that have become
keywords, or to suppress warnings related to generics features.

I am running AMD64 Fedora 5 Linux. I found out that you need to use the 32-bit
versions of Java to support applets and webstart, although that might have
changed since I last checked. Unfortunately for me, even with the 32-bit Javas
the Firefox that came with Fedora 64 doesn't love applets, and I haven't yet
bothered to kick it out for a custom install.
