             Summary: Cannot test IBM J9 VM on linux 
                 Key: JBTM-2432
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBTM-2432
             Project: JBoss Transaction Manager
          Issue Type: Task
          Components: Testing
            Reporter: Michael Musgrove
            Assignee: Tom Jenkinson
             Fix For: 5.later


We currently have provisional support for the IBM® J9 virtual machine for Java 7 but building narayana master now requires Java 8 (which we inherited from WildFly master which enforces Java 8).

Now it appears that the J9 virtual machine for Java 8 is not available on linux. When you go to the download page the linux download button redirects to the Oracle Hot Spot VM. We either need to abandon support for J9 or we add a CI machine running z/OS
