Where to download a OpenJDK7 installation package for AIX5.3 ?

[Volker Simonis]

Hi Pan Qun,

Generally, our project, as all the other OpenJDK project, doesn't
provide binaries. You have to build it yourself. However, to ease the
step of building (and because the IBM J9 JDK didn't qualify as a
drop-in replacement of the bootstrap JDK) we provided two JDK binaries
which could be used to bootstrap the build on AIX. Please notice that
these binaries are old, not very well tested on not supported at all.
Their only purpose is to enable other developers to bootstrap a recent
version of OpenJDK on AIX.

For more information please take a look at the following mail thread:
http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/ppc-aix-port-dev/2015-December/002329.html

I'd also suggest to move to jdk8 because it builds a lot easier and we
don't support the jdk7 port any more.

In general we would very much appreciate if IBM could play a more
active role in the OpenJDK AIX porting project :)

Regards,
Volker
