You mean like these on the SDK? java-1_4_2-ibm-devel-1.4.2_sr13.10-0.4.1.s390x.rpm java-1_5_0-gcj-compat-1.5.0.0-103.26.s390x.rpm java-1_5_0-gcj-compat-devel-1.5.0.0-103.26.s390x.rpm java-1_6_0-ibm-devel-1.6.0_sr9.3-0.4.1.s390x.rpm > If we can do this, would IBM accept it? I doubt it. I don't know that any Java development teams anywhere packages Java in a native package format. They seem to leave that for the distribution providers.
