Download for J2se1.4.1_02 is available for download. Release Notes here

Also noticed that Oracle has changed the way JDBC drivers are named. An excerpt from What Is New In This Release Since 9.2.0.1:

New classes file name for JDK 1.4 and beyond Beginning with this release the classes files for JDK 1.4 and beyond will be named ojdbc<jdk ver>.jar. So, the classes file for JDK 1.4 is named ojdbc14.jar. The names for the JDK 1.1 and 1.2 classes files will not be changed. We will not provide .zip versions of the classes files beyond JDK 1.2.
