This question just occurred to me. If I am writing Java code that I want to execute on z/OS, either batch or CICS, I want to use an desktop IDE such as Netbeans or Eclipse. After all, why waste z/OS cycles doing Java compiles? However, in order to easily use these IDEs, I need to be able to access the appropriate "jar" files. I am running on a Windows XP Pro system. There is no other option. I do not have an NFS client, so I cannot NFS mount the z/OS UNIX subdirectories which contain the "jar" files. Finally, I get to my question. Is it OK for me to download the "jar" files to my workstation? I have absolutely NO idea where to look to see what the license is that would address this issue.
This is more curiousity than anything else. The probability of this company becoming interested in Java is very remote. But I can see some uses for specialized applications. Too bad we're de-emphasizing the z system environment. -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer HealthMarkets Keeping the Promise of Affordable Coverage Administrative Services Group Information Technology The information contained in this e-mail message may be privileged and/or confidential.
