Running Oracle 9i JDeveloper on OpenVMS

Recently Oracle announced the availability of the Oracle 9i JDeveloper suite.
Although it is a pure Java environment, it is supplied with a Unix and a Windows startup procedure. For other Java enabled platforms, customers have to figure out for themselves how to start it up.

The following procedure can be used to start JDeveloper on OpenVMS. It has not been extensively tested, but is seems to do the job. The "-V" option is a OpenVMS specific Java option to get around the 255 byte limit for the OpenVMS commandline. The OpenVMS Fast Virtual Machine produced errors, don't know why yet.

For follow-ups, questions and remarks, please send my an e-mail (as well). Reading all these newsgroups is a bit to much [:-)] .

Regards,

Dirk Munk

$! Command procedure to startup Oracle9i JDeveloper on OpenVMS.
$!
$! This procedure reads the Oracle supplied JDEV.CONF file that is used to
$! start JDveloper on Unix and Windows.
$!
$! It will generate a command line file to be used with OpenVMS specific
Java
$! "-V" option.
$!
$! It is assumed that Java131 is installed in the default directory.
$!
$! Java for OpenVMS can be found on:
$! http://www.compaq.com/java/download/index.html
$!
$! This commandfile should be installed in and run from the [JDEV.BIN]
directory.
$!
$! It is recommended to use a ODS-5 structured disk as the device to unzip
$! (=install) the JDeveloper kit to.
$!
$! Unzip for VMS can be found at http://www.info-zip.org
$!
$! A ODS-5 structured disk should also be used for the working space.
$! Working space in this commandfile is placed in SYS$LOGIN. You can
change this
$! if SYS$LOGIN for instance is not on a ODS-5 structured disk, however
keep in
$! mind to use a Unix style syntax ( /DKB0/MY_DIR etc.).
$!
$! If you don't have a ODS-5 disk, and you don't want to change a ODS-2
disk to
$! a ODS-5 disk, you can create a LD disk. A LD disk is a file on a
normal disk,
$! that can be used as a (Logical) Disk with the help of the LD driver.
$!
$! The LD package can be found at
$! http://www.openvms.compaq.com/openvms/freeware/
$!
$! To run JDeveloper you need a OpenVMS system with a X-Windows Motif
display.
$!
$! It is likely you can run the OpenVMS based JDeveloper from a PC too,
if the
$! PC has a X-Windows server running, and you start it from a terminal
session
$! from within the OpenVMS based X-Windows session manager (!!).
