I'm in a project where client wants J2SE 1.4.2 applications.

Why?

Sun's Web pages has announced that 1.4.1 and below are "end of life".

You mean 1.4.2 is in End of Life. Previous versions are already obsolete.

Does anyone know how long J2SE 1.4.2 is supported by Sun?

2SE 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.

There is absolutely no reason not to use modern tools to write the programs even if you want them to be 1.4.2 compatible.
