Sun's End-Of-Life Policy: http://java.sun.com/products/archive/eol.policy.html Java 5.0 End of Service Life = October 30, 2009 But, "Customers seeking longer standard support and maintenance periods for each release family are encouraged to migrate to Java SE for Business." Meaning... Java 1.4

If you're running Java on z/OS then you're using an IBM JVM and already paying them for maintenance. Only Sun's Java 5 implementation is EOSL. On Oct 31, 11:03 pm, B Smith-Mannschott wrote: > On Sat, Oct 31, 2009 at 01:24, Neil Bartlett wrote: > > > Happy Halloween! Just to remind everybody tha
