On startup, installer doesn't detect JDK Blackdown version 1.4.2-rc1.
I will add JVM resolution instruction files for Blackdown JDK 1.4.2 and IBM JDK 1.4.2 on Linux.
It should work with NB 4.0 installer as JVM resolution only requires "java.specification.version" to be "1.4". Now I just changed it to require JDK 1.4.2_X. I also added path hints for IBM JDK 1.4.2 as it has default install dir "IBMJava2-142".
If installer launcher does not detect JDK automaticaly you can use command line option "-is:javahome <path to JDK>" eg.: "-is:javahome /usr/java/j2sdk1.4.2_06". This should work for NB 4.0 and Blackdown JDK.
