This recently came to my attention:

From <http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/>:

"J2SE 1.4.2 has begun the Sun End of Life (EOL) process. The EOL 
transition period is from Dec, 11 2006, until the General Availability 
(GA) of the next Java version, Java SE 7, currently planned for the 
summer of 2008. With this notice, customers are strongly encouraged to 
migrate to the current release, Java SE 6.

"During this EOL transition period, the products will continue to be 
supported per existing customer support agreements.

"For developer needs, all products that have completed the EOL 
transition period will be moved to the Archive area 
(<http://java.sun.com/products/archive/>)."
