IBM i - Java License Program
The IBM i platform supports multiple versions of the Java Development Kit (JDK).
If you are using IBM Technology for Java, you select which option to run by setting the JAVA_HOME environment variable.
This differs from the Classic JVM, which uses the java.version system property.
