Distributing Java applications

Java™ applications typically consist of class, resource, and data files.

When you distribute a Java application, your software package probably consists of the following parts:

  • Your own class, resource, and data files
  • An installation procedure or program

Your IBM® Semeru Runtime Certified Edition for z/OS® software license does not allow you to redistribute any of the SDK files with your application. You must ensure that a licensed version of the IBM Semeru Runtime Certified Edition for z/OS is installed on the target system.

When distributing your application for use on a z/OS platform, make the z/OS SDK a prerequisite, because z/OS does not have a separate runtime environment.
