All,
This is a fairly dumb question - but with security patching and JAVA
updates always occurring, I feel the need to ask:
Is JAVA required on a Windows or Linux (SUSE) implementation?
Outside of the MQ Explorer GUI on Windows, I can't think of anything that
would require JAVA since it seems to me that all of the tracing mechanisms
are C-based (or some variant of C). That would also state that the Linux
environment is absolutely free from JAVA - since the Explorer GUI does not
run there.
Any comments out there? I am not sure that I want to remove JAVA from my
MQ servers, but it would solve some patching issues related to
vulnerabilities.
Thanks,
David Corbett
