Next Version of IBM's OS/2 Warp to Integrate Java Technology
April 30, 1996
As First Intel-based Operating System to Include Java, Merlin Will
Offer Cutting Edge Internet and Network Functionality
AUSTIN, Texas, April 29, 1996...IBM today announced that the next
version of OS/2* Warp, code-named Merlin, will integrate Sun
Microsystem's Java** programming language when Merlin ships in the
second half of this year. In addition to incorporating a Java-enabled
Web browser into Merlin, IBM will integrate Java into the operating
system, allowing it to natively run Java applications and Internet
applets independent of a Web browser.
"Java levels the playing field between operating systems," said Wally
Casey, vice president of client product management in IBM's Software
Group. "Because a Java application will run on all operating systems
without modification, developers no longer will have to write to a
proprietary API set and customers will be able to make buying
decisions based on which operating system best runs their
applications. This development also broadens the base of applications
that OS/2 will natively support."
