HP-UX 11i Java™ JDK/JRE Version 7.0.09 Release Notes

Overview

Java™ Platform, Standard Edition 7 (Java SE 7) for HP-UX provides tools for developing

and deploying 32-bit and 64-bit Java applications on HP-UX 11i Integrity systems. See

“HP-UX system requirements ” (page 13) for information about which HP-UX releases are

supported.

Release notes are not included in the software kit, and instead, this online version is your

source of information for the release. It has the most up-to-date information, especially

regarding known defects, so you may want to check it occasionally for updates. Note

that Java SE 7 for HP-UX does not include the Runtime Plug-in or Java Web Start.

Two principal products are delivered in a single Java SE 7 download package:

• Java SE 7 Runtime Environment 7 (JRE)

The JRE provides the libraries, HotSpot Java virtual machine, and other components

necessary for executing a Java application. You may include the JRE with your Java

applications as long as you adhere to the HP software license agreement and

supplemental restrictions provided in the license file. One requirement is that you

must include all of the runtime environment files provided by HP.

• Java SE 7 Development Kit (JDK)

The JDK is a superset of the JRE and includes additional tools such as compilers and

debuggers necessary for developing applets and applications. The JDK that is

installed from the Java download package includes the installation of the JRE.
