Re: Java On HP-UX 7.x
Based on my short time here, like a few days, they only upgrade when they need to. I'm just as supprised as you...and I'm here!

Well this is a perfect moment to tell them they need an upgrade. The earliest hpux java version available for hpux was 1.1.8 on 10.20.
Kind regards,

Re: Java On HP-UX 7.x
Advise your retailer to upgrade and ditch whatever custom application they have and get a new one. Chances are good you don't even need to run HP-UX anymore.
Good luck

Re: Java On HP-UX 7.x
If the CEO has tried to use an old scanner on Vista, your job will be much simpler. Ask the CEO if someone tried installing MS Office on and WIndows 3.1 machine. Java will CRIPPLE your machine even it could run on 7.x. You will not have anything close to the minimum memory (2000 megs or so) and the CPU is probably 20-50 Mhz rather than 750-1000 Mhz. SO between swap and CPU speed, it could take an hour before the application starts. Today's computers are 1/2 the original price of the old machine with 20-50 times better performance.

Re: Java On HP-UX 7.x
And this would be easy if the new application doesn't have to talk to the old one.

Re: Java On HP-UX 7.x
Having determined what's running, see if new versions are available, and if so, for what OSes/Versions. My biggest concern would be that you have some COTS that is no longer available, but your employer "likes" it, hence you run 20yr old hardware.
If it is running COTS and they vendor / product is now defunct, then you will be faced with purchasing new hardware and migrating to new/different application.
Also, take note of any specialized hardware in use. As old as it is, I wouldn't be surprised to see a bunch of real honest-to-goodness glass terminals connected to something like a DTC. If so, I don't know if the DTC management stuff is even supported anymore.
In any case, a failure of the existing hardware could force a migration, and the migration process is probably going to be non-trivial (ie weeks to months). Doing it after the hardware folds could kill the business, depending upon how critical the apps it runs are. Besides, the smallest current avaiable box should absolutely run rings around whatever hardware is currently running....

Re: Java On HP-UX 7.x
hpux 7.0 doesn't know anything about threads....
the other possibility if they want to keep their old system, keep old systems with old application, buy a new system for new applications.

Re: Java On HP-UX 7.x
If this machine is running in-house developed software, it is probably written in a technology that no longer exists, that noone knows anymore and that noone can read, and the people who once created it have long ago left the company.
"Upgrading" here means : Start writing again from scratch to mimic old behaviour. This will take a lot of time and effort.
If this machine is running 3rd party software, then your current version will be so old, that probably no migration path to a currently available versions exists.
I hope you are lucky enough to have an old software that still has an easy migration path.
And ... the question that burns on everyones lips : What the hell is running on that machine ?
