JDK's (ibm vs. sun)

["Swart, James (Jim) ** CTR **" <sw...@agere.com>]

this brings up a good question.

Tomcat 3.2 says it *assums* you are using IBM's JDK?  Does sun's suck or
something?

Do you mean you're trying to do an FTP download _of_ Java _in_ Java?

I wouldn't attempt this: there's one form (the license agreement) followed
by another form (the FTP download site selection).  And Sun would probably
consider bypassing the forms (if possible) as legally questionable,
especially the license agreement.

If you're just trying to do an FTP download in Java (of something else),
look at 

    http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/docs/api/java/net/URL.html

specifically, URL.openConnection().

Brings up other questions. We've just been told, again, in the last few
days, to use JDK 1.2.2_05 or better, and not JDK 1.3, because of
synchronization issues. Yet the JDK that IBM offers through the
WebSphere preview program, is 1.3.0_08 (at least for Winblows; reference
http://www6.software.ibm.com/dl/wspt/priv/wspt-h?S_PKG=pretechww ). Do
the synchronization issues also apply to the IBM JDK? What is the
citation for the above assumption?
