The newest snaps are here:
http://lark.cc.ku.edu/~pauljohn/Swarm/Swarm-2.2x_RPMSforRH7.3/
you need hdf5 and swarm itself.
THe packages for jikes, tcl/tk, glibc, emacs, blt, from the RH7.3
distribution are fine. Comments in the FAQ are targeted to specific
editions of Swarm. The FAQ won't have details for these 2.2x releases
until the release is finalized.
Kaffe was a Java package from another company, but RH has deprecated it.
Blackdown Java is a volunteer project that Sun took over about a year ago,
so I switched to the Sun version because it seemed fine and more
accessible. With more docs, too. But I think the Blackdown would work.

Hi,
I have Red Hat Linux 7.3 (Professional) installed in my PC and am
considering to install the latest version of Swarm (Development
Snapshot). Based on Dr. Johnson's Swarm On-Line FAQ (questions 2.3 and
2.7), I figured out that I may need the following setups:
(1) Paul says that "To use Java Swarm, You need to get rid of the RedHat
Java rpms and install the Sun java tarball in /usr/local/j2sdk1.4.0". But
in FAQ, he says to choose between Kaffe and Blackdown. Does Kaffe (or)
Blackdown belong to Sun java?
(2) Which compiler, jikes 0.47 or gcc-2.95.1, or both? Any newer versions?
(3) Emacs: is the Emacs built in Red Hat Linux 7.3 OK? Need to be put in
my path or just keep it in where it is?
(4) tcl/tk: later than 8.04?
(5) BLT: later than 2.4g?
(6) Need a C Library Glibc-2.0 or 2.1?
If you know where to get the above items, I would appreciate it. Thanks.
Best regards,
Li
