Interesting. I've just received a copy of IBM's Java Update e-mail which says they're shipping a preview of JDK 1.2 for AIX, even though it doesn't pass all of the JCK. I wonder what their lawyers know that the Blackdown team doesn't. Ron --- DOWNLOAD! IBM JAVA(TM) 2 PORT FOR AIX - TECHNOLOGY PREVIEW ================================================================== http://www.alphaWorks.ibm.com Live on Monday, January 18! Using IBM Java(tm) 2 port for AIX - technology preview, developers can create, edit, compile and run Java programs using Java 1.2 programming APIs. IBM Java(tm) 2 port for AIX is an early port of Sun's reference JDK 1.2 for Solaris, so there are some functional and performance limitations. This port does not yet include IBM functional and performance enhancements which will be present in a later full release working on all supported versions of IBM AIX. However, the vast majority of the Sun 1.2 JCK has run cleanly, and many demos and benchmark programs also work.
