   Java is a very popular sophisticated programming environment. Applications   
   written in the Java language are run inside a virtual machine (Java Virtual   
   Machine, JVM) which provides a nearly identical behavior on all platforms that   
   have a JVM implementation available. This "write once, run anywhere" approach   
   means that developers can support a multitude of platforms while only having   
   to maintain one code base. For users, availability of a current Java for OS/2   
   and eComStation means access to a huge number of existing applications.     
      
   For more information about Java, see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wi   
   i/Java_%28programming_language%29   
      
   Previously, Java had been made available for OS/2 and eComStation by IBM,   
   Golden Code and Innotek. However, new versions with many changes and   
   improvements have been released since then and current applications require a   
   current JVM implementation. The new project will port a current JVM to OS/2   
   and eComStation. Dmitry Kumenov, who is well-known for his work on the Qt 3   
   and 4 ports, is the chief developer.

   Download   
   ------------   
   OpenJDK 6 JRE  JRE package needed to run Java programs. Not recommended for   
   SMP systems (see below).   
   ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/pub/java/openjdk6_b22_wse/openjdk6_b22_jre   
   os2_wse-20110512.zip   
      
   OpenJDK 6 SDK  SDK package needed to compile Java programs. Includes a copy of   
   the JRE package. Not recommended for SMP systems (see below).   
   ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/pub/java/openjdk6_b22_wse/openjdk6_b22_sdk   
   os2_wse-20110512.zip   
      
   OpenJDK 6 JRE (SMP Friendly)  JRE package, same as above but with all   
   executables marked as MPUNSAFE which makes them more or less stable on SMP   
   machines by sticking to a single core (rare hangs are still possible).   
   ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/pub/java/openjdk6_b22_wse/openjdk6_b22_jre
