Equivalent Oracle release
This HP JDK 5.0.30 release includes the functionality, enhancements, and defect fixes
equivalent to Oracle releases up to and including Java 5u55, 5u61, and 5u65, as well
as certain HP platform-specific defect fixes. The HP JDK 5.0.30 release passes all of the
tests in Oracle's Java Compatibility Kit test suite (JCK V1.5a). Except for the experimental
option -XX:+UseG1GC, which is supported in this release, other experimental JVM
options in Oracle's JDK releases since 5.0u19 (for example, -XX:+DoEscapeAnalysis,
-XX:+UseCompressedOops, and similar options) are not supported in JDK/JRE 5.0.30.
HotSpot JVM
All -X options supported in earlier HotSpot JVMs are included in this version. Performance,
tool support, tool enhancements, and features are documented at http://java.sun.com/
j2se/1.5.0/docs/index.html.
Also, see Oracle's Java HotSpot VM Options at: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/
java/javase/tech/vmoptions-jsp-140102.html.
The HotSpot JVM for HP-UX 11i for HP Integrity and HP 9000 PA-RISC systems is suitable
for both client and server workloads. When it is used in a client environment, the JVM
with configuration options that suit client-side applications is invoked. For more information
about the HotSpot JVM, see the HP-UX Programmer's Guide for Java 2 under “User
guide” at http://www.hp.com/go/hpux-java-docs.
The JDK 5.0.30 HotSpot 5.0.30 edition supports the APIs that are core to the Java 2
platform, among them Remote Method Invocation (RMI), nonblocking i/o APIs, the
Collections Framework, and IPV6. The Java 2 Platform version 5.0 API Specification is
available at http://download.oracle.com/javase/1.5.0/docs/api/.
The JDK 6 Adoption Guide helps users upgrading from JDK 5 to JDK 6. This guide may
