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: 5.2.0
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
