Where can I get more information on the IBM J9 JVM?
IBM uses a couple of different marketing names for this product. “J9” is the name of the actual JVM, although I’ve seen it referred to as “IBM WebSphere Everyplace Micro Environment”. IBM also sells an Eclipse-based IDE called “WebSphere Studio Device Developer” (WSDD) for around $600 that includes IBM J9. IBM’s Ottawa Software Lab makes IBM WebSphere Everyplace Micro Environment (aka J9 JVM). You can purchase it directly from Handango for $5.99 per unit. Update on April 19, 2006: A reader of this FAQ writes, IBM has updates the J9 runtimes for WindowsMobile 2005 with CDC/Foundation/Personal Profile 1.1 .
