No, the JVM isn't tied to any activation group.  You can access the same
JVM from a program in any activation group.

In V5R1, when any activation group ended (possibly one that never had
anything to do with the JVM), the JVM would end.  Then you could start
another JVM (usually).

Starting in V5R2, the JVM no longer ends automatically with an
activation group ending.  But once you end the JVM or it ends itself,
you can't start another JVM.
