IBM officially announced their Java strategy at the following URLs:

IBM will deliver nine Java Virtual Machines (JVMs) that support Java
Standard Edition version 1.3.

A JVM is the technology that lies between the application and the
operating system to give Java its cross-platform capabilities.

Offerings for Windows, Linux, AIX, and OS/390 will be available in
June, followed shortly after with versions for OS/400 and OS/2.

Finally, the "OS/2 Porting Status" page at IBM Hursley Labs is
updated now. It shows the OS/2 preview version of Java2 1.3 is due
June 30, and the GA is due Sept. 30. Essentially the same deadlines,
but specific.
