That is only because IBM (JAVA) do not want to go through the steps
to install via SMPE.

The amount of "additional work" (just receive, apply, accept(opt)
an additional few PTFs) to support JAVA via SMP/E is minimal and
should take no more "space" that non-smp methods.
For that reason I have chosen to install/maintain JAVA via SMP/E.
I agree (in general) that SMP/E is overkill since the packaging
method for JAVA maintenance is full replacement of the HFS/ZFS file.
Just my $0.02 USD worth...

The command:
<java_home>/bin/java -version
will tell you what version and maintenance level. IMO, it is not
very useful to install Java on z/OS via SMP/E because of the way
that it is
maintained. The downside is the extra space required for SMP/E.
Does
anyone see a benefit?
