Product Information
IBM is a key partner with Sun Microsystems and other industry leaders
in developing and promoting Java technology. IBM OS/2 Warp Developer Kit, Java(TM) Edition brings
Java's write once, run everywhere cross-platform capability to
IBM's award-winning OS/2 Warp operating system.
IBM OS/2 Warp Developer Kit, Java(TM) Edition consists of the following components:
- Runtime
- Toolkit
- Toolkit Documentation
- Samples
- ICAT Debugger for OS/2 Java
- Times New Roman MT 30 Unicode Font
Runtime Component
The Runtime component can be installed by itself on either a FAT or
HPFS formatted drive and provides the ability to run Java applications
and applets directly from an OS/2 session command line. The Runtime
component includes a just-in-time (JIT) compiler that generates
machine code for frequently used byte code sequences in a Java application
or applet on-the-fly during execution.
Toolkit Component
If you want to develop Java applications and applets of your own,
then install the Toolkit component on an HPFS-formatted drive.
The Toolkit helps you:
- Develop applets that conform to the 100% Pure Java specification
- Develop stand-alone Java applications
The Toolkit provides application and applet developers with these tools
for developing Java programs:
- Java Compiler
- The Java Compiler, javac.exe, converts Java source code into Java byte codes
which can later be run with the Java Interpreter, java.exe.
- Java Class Libraries
- The Java Class Libraries define all the standard Java classes, allowing
your Java applications to create and extend existing Java objects.
- Java Applet Viewer
- The Java Applet Viewer, applet.exe, provides a way to run an applet from
an OS/2 session command line.
- Java Documentation Generator
- The Java Documentation Generator, javadoc.exe, generates API
(Application Programming Interface) documentation
from properly commented Java programs. The API information provided as part
of the Toolkit is created using javadoc.exe.
- ...and more!
-
Samples Component
With Java, there is no need to start from scratch on your programming
efforts. Install the Samples component and you can run and later
dissect code from existing, working Java applications and applets.
Toolkit Documentation Component
The Toolkit Documentation component provides documentation on the tools
supplied in the Toolkit. In addition, the Java Application Programming
Interface (API) User's Guide provides detailed information on all the
packages and classes shipped with IBM OS/2 Warp Developer Kit, Java(TM) Edition.
Color-coded information on interfaces, classes, exceptions,
variables, constructors, and methods provide the programmer with quick,
easy access to Java programming information.
ICAT Debugger for Java OS/2 Component
The ICAT (Interactive Code Analysis Tool) Debugger for Java OS/2 is
new with IBM OS/2 Warp Developer Kit, Java(TM) Edition. The ICAT Debugger is a powerful
source-level debugger to assist you in developing your Java applications.
Times New Roman MT 30 Unicode Font
This component contains the Times New Roman MT 30 unicode font for
displaying International characters and the corresponding TrueType engine.
