The updates to z/TPF support for Java address various defects. They are designed to work with updates made to the IBM® 64-bit Runtime Environment for z/TPF, Java™ Technology Edition, Version 8. All of the z/TPF components, as well as the IBM Java runtime shared objects, can be loaded to a z/TPF system by using either the E-type loader (OLDR) or the image loader (TLDR). Apply both updates to the z/TPF system at the same time. Download and install the PJ44655_ibm-java-jre-8.0-4.5.tar.gz package from the IBM 64-bit Runtime Environment for z/TPF, Java Technology Edition, Version 8 download page.
The IBM Java runtime also addresses various product security vulnerabilities. For more information, see the security bulletin. For more information about APAR PJ44655, see the APEDIT.
