  • Java on Solaris 11

    From jaybraun2.0@gmail.com@21:1/5 to All on Mon Aug 24 13:55:24 2020
    Which versions of Java are supported on Solaris 11? Do all/any require paid licenses?

    Thank you.

    Thank you.

    Solaris 11.4 comes with a very long-term supported version of Oracle JDK
    8. There seems to be a JDK 11 for Solaris/SPARC available from Oracle…

    I've just uploaded a shell script which compiles OpenJDK 9, 10, 11, 12,
    13 and 14 on Solaris/x86 11.4 (SRU 23):

    https://github.com/sapsDev/java-on-solaris

    You'll need Solaris Studio 12.4 in order to build it. It is based on a script published at [1] and on the information published at [2] and [3].

    As OpenJDK of version n needs version n-1 for compilation, the whole
    thing takes a while.

    Unfortunately, the OpenJDK people seem to have removed Solaris support beginning with version 15, so OpenJDK 14 seems to be the latest version available:

    https://openjdk.java.net/jeps/381
    https://openjdk.java.net/jeps/362

    Hope this helps!

    Kind regards,
    Steffen

    Hi

    I have recently acquired a Sun Ultra 60.

    I live in Madrid, Spain.

    If anyone has any working HW or SW for this machine which He/She wish to
    donate it away I would be happy to arrange shipping and put it into good
    use.

    Here is a short list of what I had in mind:


    - Solaris 2.5.1 , 7 , 8, 9 for SPARC Original Boxed SW

    - 450MHz CPU Pair for Ultra 60

    - SunPCI II Pro Card

    - Sun Gigabit (Fibre SX) Network Card

    - SCSI Hard Disk (9.1, 18.2 , 36 GB)

    - Memory Ram Modules

    - Misc PCI Accessories

    - External Disk Enclosure w/o Hard Drives - love them near as much as
    tape drives -

    - Tape Drives Internal and/or External - love tape drives @ lot-

    Regards

    Viktor
