IBM JVM refers to IBM's implementation  of the jvm. They have their own 
complete write of the jvm, probably derived from openjdk.  As such, they have 
their own implementation of java.util.zip classes.  on WebSphere, the default 
jvm to use is theirs. To use the Oracle jvm, one has to install and specify it.

I believe that the JVM still uses Unicode internally. I believe character data 
is probably converted when the string is created. I know that on IBM i, I do 
not have to do anything special to EBCDIC character data, and POI documents are 
written correctly.

I'm not sure what the reference to "IBM JVM" really means in this context.
If one means "The Java Virtual Machine that runs under IBM System Z on a 
z-Series mainframe", then character encoding issues to and from EBCDIC could be 
a problem. IBM's Tier 1 implementation of the JVM (under Unix System Services) 
is natively EBCDIC. It is just another possibility,

Thanks
