pardon my ignorance, is openvms a unix clone? what kind of platform does it run on? What issues would one have to consider to get an openvms environment running? and is there a enterprise level adoption of openvms and if so how significant is it?
thanks,

1. You need a VMS box, preferably an alpha one, or maybe an alpha copy of VMS on IA64
2. It is highly regarded by its installed base, and has excellent clustering features
3. It has a funny filesystem -most definitely not Unix.
I dont know about Axis C++ on VMS, but do know that OpenVMS support is going in to Ant as we speak. You cannot bootstrap Ant on VMS, but a nightly build of Ant will recognise it and many things will work. So you may be able to build Axis Java on OpenVMS. And if not, you should be able to run it with a build made on a different platform.

One of these days I should get the loan of the Itanium-1 box that I have been offered and bring up Win2K3, Linux and openVMS on it, then run the Gump on all three platforms. It would be interesting...I just dont have the time.
