Java Development Kit 1.1.3u for SCO Operating Systems

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.
