All of them.

IBM markets several Java implementations (PC, Z/OS, ...). HP has at least one.
Oracle itself has several.

You can Google it as well as I can, señor.  Here's one link to Oracle's
support, which continues to uphold version 1.4:
<http://www.oracle.com/us/technologies/java/java-se-support-393643.html>

As far as I can tell from the Oracle website, there's no announced plan or
date for discontinuation of support for 1.4 yet.

"... enjoy Oracle Lifetime Support as well as updates on older releases dating
back to Java SE 1.4.2"
