| 140.16 | Java *application* support built into OpenVMS? | CPEEDY::COOK | Just say NO to that AccViO! - Java!!! | Wed Apr 02 1997 16:57 | 38 |

Here's what I'd like to see get implemented on OpenVMS in
regard to Java support:
Built in 'runtime' support for Java *applications*
--------------------------------------------------
o An implementation of the JVM that ships as part of OpenVMS
(sort of analogous to the fact that the C-runtime ships as part
of OpenVMS to support C-language-based applications).
o The DCL-command '$ Java' would presumably also be defined
in the DCL tables to support invoking .class Java applications.
o If possible, an additional function might be to also support
the execution of Java-applications that were packaged into
a .EXE form (as distinct from the .class form). While this
form would then not be architecture neutral, it would presumably
have better startup/execution performance. (Tools to accomplish
this are already becoming available from other companies
targeting other platforms/OSes.)
o etc.
The goal of such software would be so that OpenVMS layered products
could start using Java and shipping some of their components as
Java applications. (Note: I'm referring to Java *applications*...
*not* to Java Applets / HTML-based Java.)
Are there any plans along these lines in the works?
Thanks...
Dave

Its being worked on. Expect to see a beta within a couple of months or so.

Whether its defined in DCLTABLES or invoked via a foreign command is
undecided at this point.

The top priority is to get the JDK (including a just-in-time compiler) on
OpenVMS. Native compilers are being talked about but won't be a part of the
initial offering.

The plans are to ship Java as part of the O/S once its ready.
