what java version each Tru64 version has?

Murali Ramaswamy — Fri, 31 Oct 2003 13:35:30 GMT

Hi,
I am re-phrasing the previous questions as I did not get much response....maybe the question was not clear.

Tru64 boxes(V4.0F, V5.0, V5.1, V5.1A and V5.1B) comes with what java jdk version? If it does not come with any java installed then what jdk version installation is supported in each of these versions and what patches need to be installed for that java installation to work properly?
I was looking for answer like below:

Tru64 version has jdk supportsjdks/patch?
============= ======= ==================
V4.0f ? ?

V5.0 ? ?

V5.1 ? ?

V5.1A ? ?

V5.1B ? ?

Thanks

I'd have to check all versions, but here's how you can do it yourself.
I'm assuming you have these versions deployed, and that is driving your
need to know, but I didn't look into each one. Below, in the detail, are some
ways you'd gather this info on your systems.

Here are the current and archived versions available online:

Current versions:
http://h18012.www1.hp.com/java/download/index.html

Old versions available:
http://h18012.www1.hp.com/java/archive_download/index.html

Some looking into my 5.1b, 5.1a and 4.0f systems:

Summary:
5.1b - version 1.3.1
5.1a - version 1.1.8 also includes version 1.2.2 on the OS CD
4.0f - Note: JAVA122 installed on top of base java components

Detail (how I looked around):

clipper V5.1B> sizer -v
Compaq Tru64 UNIX V5.1B (Rev. 2650); Wed Oct 29 15:55:37 MST 2003

JDK versions online:
clipper V5.1B> ls -d /usr/opt/java*
/usr/opt/java131 <-- this is version 1.3.1 of the SDK

clipper V5.1B> grep SDK /usr/opt/java131/LICENSE
Compaq Software Development Kit (SDK) v 1.3.1

Java version:
clipper V5.1B> java -version
java version "1.3.1"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition
Fast VM (build 1.3.1-2, native threads, mixed mode, 01/16/2002-13:22)

pinky V5.1A> sizer -v
Compaq Tru64 UNIX V5.1A (Rev. 1885); Wed Mar 19 03:55:01 MST 2003

JDK versions online:
pinky V5.1A> ls /usr/opt/java*
/usr/opt/java118: <-- this is version 1.1.8 of the JDK
COPYRIGHT LICENSE bin lib

usr/opt/java122: <-- notice we have another version
COPYRIGHT LICENSE bin jre lib

Both are available CD 1 as OSFJAVA520 (version 118) and
OSFJAVA122520 (version 122)

pinky# grep -l '/usr/opt/java122' /usr/.smdb./*inv
/usr/.smdb./OSFJAVA122520.inv
/usr/.smdb./OSFJAVADEV122520.inv
/usr/.smdb./OSFJAVADOC122520.inv

pinky# grep -l '/usr/opt/java118' /usr/.smdb./*inv
/usr/.smdb./OSFJAVA520.inv
/usr/.smdb./OSFJAVADEV520.inv
/usr/.smdb./OSFJAVADOC520.inv

Java version:

pinky V5.1A> java -version
java version "1.1.8-10"

gold3 V4.0F> sizer -v
Digital UNIX V4.0F (Rev. 1229); Tue Oct 21 00:05:40 MDT 2003

JDK versions online:
gold3> ls -d /usr/opt/java122
/usr/opt/java122

gold3> grep -Ei 'version|SDK' /usr/opt/java122/LICENSE
Java(TM) 2 SDK, Standard Edition, v 1.2.2

Java version:
gold3> java -version
java version "1.1.7B-2"

But that's not what came with the system, it was installed later:

gold3> grep -l '/usr/opt/java122' /usr/.smdb./*inv
/usr/.smdb./JAVA122.inv
/usr/.smdb./JAVADEV122.inv
/usr/.smdb./JAVADOC122.inv

This is the OSFJAVA stuff:

gold3> ls /usr/.smdb./OSFJAVA*inv
/usr/.smdb./OSFJAVA440.inv /usr/.smdb./OSFJAVADOC440.inv
/usr/.smdb./OSFJAVADEV440.inv

The directory structure isn't the same, though. So, without some
furthur digging, I don't know which version this is. It may
not include a full SDK for all I know.

Hi,
Thanks for the detailed response. I would still require what are the default and supported java versions on 5.0 and 5.1 as I dont have access to those currently.
Thanks

Hello,

These are the releases that ship with the Base OS and can be optionally installed as part of the base OS installation. The kit's are on the Base OS CD.

V5.1B - Java v1.3.1-2
V5.1A - Java v1.1.8-10
V5.1 - Java v1.1.8-7
V5.0 - Java v ?? (No longer supported)
V4.0g - Java v1.1.7B-2
V4.0f - Java v1.1.7B-2

If you want you can replace/supplement any of these releases with a newer release that is pulled down and installed from the HP Java Web site. (http://hp.com/java/alpha).

I'm not aware of _any_ java release requiring that a patch be installed prior to installing Java (JDK or JRE) and having it work. But as common practice I would advise installing the latest aggregate patch kit to avoid any problems.

Dave,
Thanks a lot for the response. Could you tell if the V5.0 not supported means nobody uses V5.0? Please explain on that as I had used remotely V5.0 (at hp.com ,MA)for development and testing purpose. Now its not accessible. Could you tell me what java version default ships with V5.0?
Thanks

Hello,

Tru64 UNIX V5.0 shipped Java 1.1.7B-6.

As for support of V5.0.

V5.0 was the initial release of Tru64 UNIX V5 and therefore not widely deployed in production environments. V5 had many major changes to the core OS. I'm not aware of any sites still running V5.0, although they might exist - it would not be advisable to stay on that release since there is no sustaining engnieering work being done.

The current supported releases are documented on the following Web site.
