Re: SystemDefault.properties and Version questions

    Hi Joel,

    Keith's answer is correct for V4R5, but in the default situation with
multiple JDK's installed it is:

    V5R1 and V5R2        JDK    1.3    ( even if 1.4 is installed )

    V5R3                           JDK    1.4


    To cover all the bases, you have to look at "Support for multiple Java
Development Kits (JDKs)" for the version your system is on:

    Don't get me started about the InfoCenter or what going from "AS/400" to
"iSeries" to "i5" does for trying to find information about the box.
