Re: How popular is Java on the i?

Just about all installations of i running V5R4 or higher have 57##JV1
(where ## is replaced by 22 for V5 and 61 for V6) installed. It is a
prerequisite for many IBM and non IBM products out there. We're not
really a java shop but one developer did write one or two java programs on
it and is using it.

Consumption is probably bigger than development. For example, many of us
are using free downloads of Java to do anything from:
- interface with MS SQL Server databases
- read/write directly to MS Excel spreadsheets
- various email programs
- and more...
Many of us execute the Java from RPGLE and have never written a line of
Java.
