Just based on the version (1.3) I would say they're talking about a JRE or SDK, not an actual compiler. All I can say is give it a try and see if it dies or not.

I did some looking around and came across the Apache Portals project (http://portals.apache.org/). It had a tutorial on setting-up a portal, which called for the following prerequisites... 1. Install a Java compiler (1.3 or greater) 2. Install Ant (1.5 or greater) 3. Install Maven 4. Install Tomcat 4 (4.1.12 or higher (last tested on 4.1.30)) or Tomcat 5 5. Install Jetspeed (1.5 release or higher). Release 1.5 John Romanowski provided a link to the IBM Java SDK in an earlier reply, which I have downloaded and am preparing to install. Is their any advantage to on of these compilers over the other? So now I am just trying to follow the cookbook and locate each of the above ingredients to make it all come together. Has anyone else set-up this project on their mainframe Linux? Would be interested in hearing your experiences.

If you want a compiler, the GNU Compiler Collection contains one, named gcj. If you want the SDK or JRE, IBM provides those here: http://www6.software.ibm.com/dl/lxdk/lxdk-p Downloading them will require no-cost registration.

My understanding is that it must be specific to the platform it will be installed on or it will not work. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
