Hello We are an old z/OS mainframe site with a team expert in RedHat on Intel. We have a z800 with a couple of IFLs, so thought it useful to try z/Linux. I am a CICS systems programmer, who used VM around 20 years ago, and with no Linux experience. We have been struggling to get to grips with z/VM and virtual Linux servers. Guess most of our problems are due to VM skills being very rusty, and the inflexiblity of the Linux technicians in getting invloved with the project. I currently have a couple of virtual RedHat 5 zLinux virtual machines set up, and need to install Java. Our Linux techs say we must have Sun Java, the developers want Java 1.5.0_05-b05, but my trawl of the web suggests that Sun Java is not available in z/Linux! Looks like I can download Java from IBM: http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/java/jdk/linux/download.html
but will this be good enough for our picky developers? Can anyone give advice?
