Getting Started

    Java Development Kit 1.1.3u for SCO UnixWare 2.1

The Java Development Kit (JDK) for SCO Operating Systems TM is a powerful development environment that is portable, object-oriented, platform independent, and especially well-suited for developing Internet-enabled applications. The JDK includes the Java Virtual Machine, runtime classes, compiler, and basic tools for using Java.

The JDK 1.1.3u web download contains a number of fixes and performance improvements to the JDK 1.1.3 and includes a debuggable Virtual Machine. The JDK 1.1.3u for SCO UnixWare® includes a just-in-time (JIT) compiler.

NOTE: You must have licensed either the SCO Edition of Sun's Java WorkShop or the SCO Edition of Sun's Java Studio to run the JIT compiler.
