About why IBM Java is not supported, i have some answers.
--------------
I'm not sure about whether it is a bad idea to try on IBMi, yet. But, as I mentioned before, IBM Java is not supported at all. Not because of lack of effort. :) There is an incompatibility (at least one) between Sun/Open Java and IBM Java, regarding SSL. That's why IBM Java will not work with Go.
My guess, even though I cannot see anything wrong in the logs, is that the agent process is dying, and that's why it goes into "lost contact" mode. Sometimes, the kernel (at least on Linux) kills a process if the system is running out of memory. I don't know enough about the IBMi to tell you whether this is happening, though.
I'd try with Sun or Open JRE, before we give up completely. As you mentioned, there might be issues (especially of performance on the IBMi), but it might not affect you or it might not be noticeable in your use case.

Have you any idea why my java process would die using IBM Java ? Or how I could analyse why it seems to die ?

I have RDi installed. I will use its embedded SDK. Thank you all for your help.

One last thing...if you have RDi or anything else that IBM installs with the "Software Delivery Platform", you'll find an IBM SDK in the /IBM/SDP/jdk folder in "Program Files"

I CAN confirm that the IBM SDK v7.0 IS included in that distro as a
separate folder so you could probably stick that in your path and get
it to work (might need a JAVA_HOME as well - probably easiest just to
work in the Eclipse environment). The Eclipse IDE version is Kepler
with the IBM SDK installed so you should be able to copy and paste
your code into a new Java project and get it to run (if you have the
rest of the libs you need in the classpath).
I am glad I went to the trouble so that I have another environment to
test the IBM JVM in......

Pete,
So far, I could not find a windows version of IBM Java :
Java Platform Standard Edition (Java SE)
IBM Developer Kits and Runtime Environments are available for
the following platforms:
AIX -- Downloads , Overview , Support and News
Linux® -- Downloads , Overview , Support and Tested
platforms and distributions
z/OS web site , Support for zEnterprise System
IBM i web site , download Java 7 from the Entitled Software
Support Site
What am I missing ?
Try starting here: http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/java/jdk/ and go
through the maze to be able to download the SDK, which comes as a ZIP
file named something like:
IBM_DevelopmentPackage_for_Eclipse_Win_X86_32_4.6.0.zip (324 MB)
