Alan, z/OS Unix is a fully branded Unix 95 - yet its has its own C/C++ compiler, IBM JVM and SDK, ebcdic rather ascii, and many documents (aka IBM Redbooks) on porting code, including OpenSource to this platform.
Java code runs as is, but many other things in a product need porting. The idea is to get Geronimo code, port it while keeping 100% functionality on z/OS. You can get to z/OS Unix using telnel, Xwindows, rlogin, ftp, etc - work on shell. To keep one code base, any C code for example will have to include %ifdef MVS, if any piece of C. All to say I foresee the z/OS code base inside geronimo CVS.

If we stick to Jars, what further work needs to be done? Just curious.
