I ran this for FYI just to see what our machine said......

Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.2_16-b05)
Classic VM (build 1.4, build JDK-1.4, native threads, jitc_de)

That looks wrong......

then again, since I have no clue about Java, I am only guessing.

Subject: Re: Calling Java from RPG

----------------------------------------------------------------------

What java version is i5/OS running? Quickest way to find out is to run
QSH and then type: java -version at the qsh command line.

Most like you are using a Java 5 specific method. The project build is
one thing. The actual execution of the class is another. Check to see
what i5/OS is running for the java version.
