Re: Upgrading V4R4 to JDK1.3 -- JAVA400-L

FWIW, the OS/400 and JVM release schedules sort of line up just
by luck. OS/400 release schedules are driven by IBM, while JVM release
schedules are mandated by license agreement with Sun.

This makes for some interesting relationships between code on what you
view as a brand new OS/400 release, and what you get with the PTFs
immediately
available for that release.
I.e. there's a bit of time in-house between the last build that builds
OS/400,
and the last PTF created before the product actually shipped).
I was pretty sure that each OS/400 release is shipped with the CDs
containing
the current PTFs available at that time (for products ordered), but that's
not really my
area so I could be incredibly mistaken.

That said, I've always viewed the Java Group PTF as equal parts of ship
strategy
and fix strategy. You should always be running the newest group PTF,
regardless
of what else is going on.


In every single ethnic, religious or racial group, there are a
very few truly evil people. For each of those people there
are many, many, many good people.
Assuming anything (evilness or capability for evil) about the
particular group is bigotry and idiocy. Don't do it.  -- Me

Thanks Gary, but it's simpler than that: IBM says we need a PTF!
How the compiler could be broken out of the box until you apply
a patch kind of escapes me, but then again, I'm just an old country
programmer...

For the short term, I'll just compile under Linux and FTP the classes
over to the iSeries box, that works just fine.
