JDK for Linux on a PE 7150

[Pottinger, Hardy J.]

Good news/bad news: the IBM 1.1.8 i386 JDK loads/runs perfectly on our PE 7150 (ia64)... but, 1.1.8 is too old to work with the application that needs the JDK. *sigh*

Back to the drawing board.

Thanks for all the help so far, this is a great list!
