Subject:  [VOICENWS] os/2 java future...

From: pcdatieg.com.br 

I found the following on the ibm java developer pages
<http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/java/jdk/other/portingplans.html>:

"Our plans for IBM Java 1.3.1 encompass an expanded range of platforms
(AIX, PowerPC 32-bit and 64-bit; zOS; AS/400; Windows 32-bit and 64-bit;
Linux on 32-bit and 64-bit Intel architecture, and on 32-bit zSeries) with
delivery currently scheduled for 4Q 2001. Our implementation of 1.3.1 will
include our enhanced JIT compiler and garbage collection technology.

Note that, as a general rule, we will be moving away from our previous
policy of making standalone Developer Kits available for individual
download. Instead, our emphasis is going to be on making the latest level
of Java technology available as an integrated aspect of IBM products such
as WebSphere. In the case of Linux, of course, delivery will be with the
various Linux distributions.

We plan to have an IBM Java 1.4 delivery on selected platforms within six
months of the Sun General availability of Java 1.4. You can expect to see
shipments on our chosen platforms starting within 2Q 2002."

Can anyone dig up and see if os/2/ecs is included?

[Moderator Note:  This is not directly news, except by the absence of any
mention of IBM's "chosed platforms" for future JDK development.  If anyone
can answer this person's question, it would be important to know, since
IBM has repeatedly in the past encouraged developers to move to Java and
away from OS/2 native development.]
