Folks,



I noticed JAVA's name in help command. I tried to access it but JAVA is not
installed.



Does OpenVMS E9.2 x86 version support Java compiler yet?



Thanks,

Tim

I don't think Java is available yet.

In some VMS update VSI stated:

<quote>
Will we get the latest version of OpenJDK on OpenVMS x86?
Yes. We are porting Java 8 to x86. After it is done, we will port the
latest Java LTS.
</quote>

Recently someone which I believe is a VSI employee stated:

<quote>
So, now I'm using clang to complete the preparation of JDK 8u372 for
field testing
</quote>

So it seems fair to assume that Java 8 will arrive pretty
soon and that Java 17 or 21 will show up later.
