Download Kits

Software Development Kit (SDK) v 1.4.2-4
The SDK v 1.4.2-4 implements Sun's Java™ 2 SDK, Standard Edition (J2SDK) v 1.4.2, and is based on Sun's J2SDK v 1.4.2_06 Solaris Reference Release. It passes all tests in Sun's Java Compatibility Kit test suite (JCK V1.4a). The SDK includes the Run Time Environment (RTE) although the RTE is also available as a separate kit.

The SDK v 1.4.2-4 kit is available for Tru64™ UNIX® V4.0F, V4.0G, and V5.1A, and higher.

The RTE is targeted primarily for developers who want to bundle the RTE with their applications for redistribution. The RTE is included with the SDK but please note that redistribution of the SDK is not permitted.

Tru64 UNIX Patches
No operating system patches are needed to install and use the above kits. You may proceed directly with downloading the software. However, if you want to take advantage of the latest bug fixes for Tru64 UNIX systems by downloading and installing the patches for versions 4.0F or higher, refer to the patch installation page.

Patch Release Kits (1.4.2-4.p2)
Note: HP periodically develops patch release kits that contain bug fixes for a small number of specific problems.

The 1.4.2-4.p2 patch kit fixes the following problems in SDK v 1.4.2-4:

• Global memory exhaustion (Out of Memory)
  The Fast VM sometimes allocates memory in the global memory region during garbage collection, but previous versions did not reuse this memory during subsequent garbage collections. This has been corrected so that such memory is reused.
  
• String.intern() (Out of Memory)
  Previous versions allocated memory for String.intern() from the global memory region, and this memory was not garbage collected. Starting with this kit, String.intern() results are now allocated as a String object subject to normal garbage collection.
  
• Reference Object processing
  If a "finalize" method is provided for a PhantomReference object, the reference object and its referent might not be garbage collected, and the finalizer would never be run. This problem has been corrected.
  
• Miscellaneous small memory leaks
  Previous versions had several small memory leaks, which were found while testing early versions of this kit on long running Java applications. These problems have been fixed.
  
• -Xdynclassgc (segv)
  Previous versions of the Fast VM incorrectly unloaded interface classes in some cases when using the -Xdynclassgc option. This could result in segv’s at random times. This issue has been fixed.

Special Note
If you are using the MulticastSocket class in your application and experience a connection time out or hang, you may wish to check question #3.9 of the Tru64 UNIX FAQ for details on correcting this problem.
