Thread: Which JDK to build jdbc1 driver on Linux?
What's the recommended JDK to build the jdbc1 version of the driver on Linux? This is for test driving the driver. I guess it will have to be one from http://www.blackdown.org/java-linux/ports.html, since AFAIK Sun hasn't released Linux ports of the older JDK's. But which one? Should I just take the latest pre-Java2 release that's available on Linux (1.1.8)? Or should I take the oldest (1.0.2.) to test the driver for maximum compatibility? Regards, René Pijlman

I guess the best one to use is the JDK that people is actually using. That is IBM jdk 1.1.8. It is the fastest and most reliable JDK ever released for Linux. We use this one the production platforms where we don't have a Java 2 requirement. -- Gunnar Rønning - gunnar@polygnosis.com Senior Consultant, Polygnosis AS, http://www.polygnosis.com/
