This page contains download information for IBM Developer Kits and IBM Websphere Real Time on AIX.
Before you can download code, you need an IBM Registration ID. You can read about IBM Registration here.
Java service information provides further details about IBM support for these Java products.
To check the latest code levels available and review any common queries, see AIX News and Frequently Asked Questions.
For each Java 5.0, 6 and 7 release there is one set of images for all supported versions of AIX. For example, the same Java 6 images are provided for AIX 5.3 and 6.1.
To help you plan your use of IBM Developer Kits and track how long your version of the IBM Developer Kit is supported, use these IBM developer kits lifecycle dates.
For information about POWER7™ support please see the IBM SDK POWER7 support information page.
Each column in the table represents a separate Java product. IBM supplied fixes for a Java problem are known as APARs. When you install an APAR for one of the Java products, then that APAR will update the code that you currently have installed for that product. For a list of the APARs for a Java release, click on the corresponding "Fix Info" link in the table. Some update images are specific to an AIX release, and are labelled accordingly.

Java service information
Future fixes to a Java product are built on top of the most recently released APAR for that product.
IBM is dedicated to fixing defects found in IBM Java products. However, some Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) have non-IBM, 3rd party products that are certified to run only on specific versions of IBM's Java for AIX. IBM has no control over which versions of Java an ISV will certify and/or support their products with. If an ISV indicates in their documentation that their product will only work with a certain version of Java, you must use that version of Java. If a problem occurs with an ISV's product that has a dependency on specific (or certified) IBM JVM releases, the issue must be handled by the ISV's support organization. IBM will work with the ISV to fix a problem when the ISV provides information that shows a deficiency with the IBM JVM. This process ensures that any new fix provided by IBM will be supported by the ISV.
Many ISVs work with IBM to ensure that their products run well on IBM's Java. Many ISVs already have a partnership with IBM to pursue any incompatibility between their product and IBM's Java products. If you want an ISV's product to be certified to run with a different version of Java, you must make this request to the ISV. The ISV can pursue the request through their normal relationship with IBM.
Warning: IBM has no control over which versions of Java an ISV certifies their product on. An ISV might sell a product that was certified on a version of IBM's Java that is no longer supported by IBM. Check the end of service dates for both the ISV product and the IBM Java product it uses.
The Java Runtime Environment (JRE) for Java 1.4.2 is provided as a tar file on the Java 1.4.2 download page. Customers can incorporate this JRE with their own products, subject to the terms specified in the JRE license, but IBM provides no support for the JRE. You can view the license from the JRE download page. Updates to the JRE tar file are made, but not guaranteed, when problems are fixed.
For Java 5.0 and 6, the SDKs are provided as tar files on each download page, with the following names:
- Java 5.0 32-bit: j532redist.tar
- Java 5.0 64-bit: j564redist.tar
- Java 6 32-bit: j632redist.tar
- Java 6 64-bit: j664redist.tar
- Java 6 32-bit: j732redist.tar
- Java 6 64-bit: j764redist.tar
Customers can incorporate the contents of these tar files with their own products, subject to the terms specified in the tar files' license, but IBM provides no support for these files. You can view the license from the download page. Updates to the tar files are made, but not guaranteed, when problems are fixed in the corresponding installp-packaged Java SDK.
All suspected Java problems must be reproducible on a Java SDK (software developer kit) product, located in the Install Directory shown in the download table. If a problem occurs using Java code that is copied or installed in other directories, support will not be provided.
