WebSphere – where can I find a specific version of IBM JDK / JRE for windows?
I'm trying to get a JDK sensitive Oracle Software used with WebSphere. I need to find some specific versions of IBM JDK to try The problem is that IBM does not do this like sun / Oracle, but allows us to do it easily
Specifically, I need one: IBM Java 5 SR9 for windows (ideal) IBM Java 5 Sr2 IBM Java 5 sr10 for windows
How do I get these directly from IBM? My company has provided a support contract for WebSphere. If I can tell them where to go, I hope one of our WebSphere engineers can download it
If there is no direct download, what free IBM JDK products can I remove such old versions?
Solution
I don't know if it's still true (but it must have been true in the past), but here's the story
Due to early Java license restrictions, JDK cannot be provided with vendors like IBM
I can't extract this information from any IBM website at present, but I believe these licenses are limited to the past
