End of life IBM JDK / JRE 5?

Question

Is there an announced end of life / end of support date for ibm jdk 5 (on Solaris / SPARC and Linux / x64)?

Answer 1

Firstly, IBM JDK 5 (for AIX) is supported until 2012 . I could not find any explicit dates for the Linux / x64 series; You can check with IBM itself.

Secondly, I'm not sure if IBM released a JRE or SDK against Solaris / SPARC; The version of the JDK used on Solaris usually tends to be the Sun JDK, which will work well even for WebSphere.

Answer 2

If you know the name of your product, you can check out the IBM Software Support Lifecycle .

Answer 3

Oracle / Sun JDK 5 has completed its support. I would suggest that the same is true for the IBM version if it keeps up.
