The Java 2 SDK (J2SDK) 1.2.2 for SCO Operating Systems is a powerful development and execution environment that is portable, object-oriented, platform independent, and especially well-suited for developing Internet-enabled applications. The J2SDK 1.2.2 for SCO includes both the execution environment needed to run Java applications and the basic development environment tools needed to build Java applications.
J2SDK 1.2.2 is the first release from SCO based on Java 2 technology. J2SDK 1.2.2 for SCO is a full implementation of the Sun MicrosystemsTM Java 2 Platform - the technology and environment described in the Sun TM specifications of the Java 2 Platform, Standard Edition, v. 1.2.2-001. (The -001 suffix indicates the patch level of the Sun J2SDK that J2SDK 1.2.2 for SCO corresponds to; this particular patch contains several bug fixes from Sun, including some that are date-related.)
J2SDK 1.2.2 enables SCO OEMs, ISVs, and end users to develop and run applets and applications that conform to the Java 2 Core API. J2SDK 1.2.2 for SCO includes improvements in performance and functionality over JDK 1.1.x.

Each of the packages can be downloaded as one large file. In addition, because of their large sizes, java2sdk2 and java2pls2 have been split into smaller parts that are available for download. If you choose to download the split packages, be sure to download all of the parts that make up that package and follow the instructions below to concatenate them back into one installable package.
Once you have downloaded the product files from the Download page, perform the following steps as root:
mv java2*.Z /tmp or
mv java2*.part* /tmp
cd /tmp
cat java2sdk2.pkg.part.* > java2sdk2.pkg.Z
cat java2pls2.pkg.part.* > java2pls2.pkg.Z
uncompress < filename > new filename
uncompress *.Z
pkginfo -l <module name>If there is no compatibility module installed, or you have an older version, you can download the latest version from the SCO Download page. To remove an older version, enter:
pkgrm <module name>To install a new compatibility module, extract and uncompress the file as described above and enter:
