Java commands and tools

When using Java™ on IBM® i, you can use either Java tools with the Qshell Interpreter or CL commands.

If you have prior Java programming experience, you may be more comfortable using the Qshell Interpreter Java tools, because they are similar to the tools that you would use with Oracle America, Inc. Java Development Kit. See the Qshell topic for information about using the Qshell environment.

If you are an IBM i programmer, you may want to use the CL commands for Java that are typical to the IBM i environment. Read on for more information about using CL commands and System i® Navigator commands.
