IBM Releases its own Java SE 6 SDK

Included tools help speed up start-up, diagnose JNI code problems, and more.

IBM’s Java 6 allows data to be easily shared between JVM instances. Any byte-data, such as XML, images, and so on, can be shared between running JVM instances, helping to reduce application memory footprint.

Also included is a new documentation Launchpad that directs you to documentation for APIs and error diagnostics. This unique documentation is also searchable. Additionally, enhanced debugging support allows stack traces down to the operating system level. The result is enhanced support to diagnose problems in native code (JNI).

Ports are available for Linux for x86, x64, and PowerPC.
