The preview version of the JVM 1.1.1 for at least v3r6 is available right
now, and this will run anything using that level of Java, including AS/400
ToolKit, as long as you don't use graphical (AWT) classes. The ToolKit
classes recognize when they are on the AS/400.

This JVM is available at
<http://ncc.hursley.ibm.com/javainfo/hurindex.html>, along with lots of
other Java information.
