The PowerPC/AIX port supports JDK 7, but this port will not be integrated into the OpenJDK main line. It will remain in the repository of the PowerPC/AIX port (ppc-aix-port/jdk7u). We will update this repository with update releases of the OpenJDK 7 and integrate all fixes we do in the PowerPC/AIX code base.
The port has successfully passed all the Java SE 7 Test Compatibility Kit (TCK) tests on SLES 11.1 Linux/PPC64 and AIX 5.3/PPC64.
The JDK 7 port supports the following parts of the OpenJDK:
linux big endian | linux little endian | aix | |
|---|---|---|---|
| cpp interpreter | no more maintained | no more maintained | no more maintained |
| template interpreter | yes | yes | yes |
| C1 compiler | no | no | no |
| C2 compiler | yes | yes | yes |
Status (see also the main page of the port):
In January 2015 we ported 8050807 to Aix.
In July 2014 we integrated JDK 7u60 into the repository. Alexander Smundak of Google contributed the port of the template interpreter for little-endian ppc.
In April 2014 we also integrated the little-endian ppc port done by Alexander Smundak of Google. This port not yet supports the template interpreter and must be built setting --with-jvm-interpreter=cpp.
In April 2014 we integrated the port of the template interpreter for the big-endian platforms.
