Sun Java 6 now available for Itanium
Since its inception in 2005, the Itanium Solutions Alliance has encouraged key developers to port their applications and tools to the Itanium platform to help increase rich application support for the platform. We have been quite successful in this area — today there are nearly 14,000 individual applications available for the platform.
Over the past year, the Alliance has championed a project between Intel and Sun to provide Sun Java SE 6 support for Itanium running Windows and Linux workloads. I’m excited that the result is now available for download.
We are delighted this critical toolkit is now available. We believe it will significantly enhance developers’ ability to create mission critical applications on the Itanium platform. I encourage anyone with an interest to download the latest version from Sun and share your thoughts with us. And if you’d like more information, Intel and Sun have published a short video discussing the capabilities of Java SE 6 on Itanium.
