This updated version of iSeries Developer Kit for Java includes the IBM Just in Time (JIT)
Version 3.5 programs.
The iSeries Developer Kit for Java is compliant with Sun's Java 1.1.8 and Java2 Standard
Edition specifications and includes:
• Java programming language and compiler
• Java interpreter and virtual machine
• Java run-time (class files and packages)
• Java Developer Kit commands and utilities
• iSeries server CL commands for creating and managing Java programs
• Java debugging facility
For additional JDK support information, including service requirements, refer to the online
publication iSeries Developer Kit for Java available from the iSeries Book Server at:
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/pubs/html/as400/infocenter.htm
The iSeries Developer Kit for Java is optimized for use in an iSeries server environment. It
uses the compatibility of Java programming and user interfaces, so you can develop your own
applications for the iSeries server. The iSeries Developer Kit for Java allows you to create and
run Java programs on the system. Unique aspects of the iSeries Developer Kit for Java
design include:
• The integration of critical Java Virtual Machine components below the Technology
Independent Machine Interface (TIMI)
• A Java transformer for the conversion of Java bytecodes to RISC machine instructions
• Advanced, scalable implementations of garbage collection, object allocation, and
synchronization
• The Remote Abstract Window Toolkit implementation that supports the java.awt APIs
The iSeries Developer Kit for Java is not an integrated language environment (ILE) language.
It introduces a new language environment on iSeries that is built on Java, American National
Standard Code for Information Interchange (ASCII), Integrated File System, and other
industry standards.
The iSeries Developer Kit for Java supports the common JDK tools, such as javac, javadoc,
and jar. There are also CL commands and Operations Navigator interfaces to the iSeries
Developer Kit for Java.
Option 5 includes support for J2SE 1.3 and is added to OS/400 V4R5 and V4R4. You gain
concurrent support for all three major versions of Java (1.1, 1.2, and 1.3) on these releases.
