InnoTek and Serenity Systems have reached a basic agreement to include Java 1.4.1_01 by InnoTek in the upcoming release of eComStation Entry 1.1.
In addition, to InnoTek products will be added to the eComStation Application Pack 1.1. Those include Macromedia Flash 5 for OS/2 and Adobe Acrobat Reader 4.05. The eComStation Application Pack 1.1 already includes Smart Suite 1.7.1, Applause and HOBLink X/11 Server for OS/2.
The demo version of Macromedia Flash 5 for OS/2 product is in the Entry product. Now the full licensed product is in the Application Pack.
The Adobe Acrobat 4.05 support from InnoTek project uses ODIN. This means a runtime environment for Acrobat Reader 4.05(Win32) to run on OS/2. Everything is integrated, so the user just installs the app and behind the covers, the Windows files are extracted and put into the install dir together with InnoTek's code.
The user gets an icon on your desktop (no reboot!) that allows them to launch Acrobat Reader. No plugin for a browser is provided, you have to use the Reader as a Helper Application in Netscape or Mozilla instead.
I am grateful to InnoTek for their continued work to support eComStation and OS/2 users.

The InnoTek OS/2 Platform Enablement Kit for Sun Java 2 Standard Edition Version 1.4.1_01 ("OS/2 Kit for Java") is a software package designed to address the needs of enterprises still running the IBM OS/2 platform while requiring access to the latest Java technology from Sun Microsystems.
The OS/2 Kit for Java consists of an integrated toolset to allow deploying the original Sun Java 2 Standard Edition, Runtime Environment 1.4.1_01 or the Java 2 SDK, Standard Edition 1.4.1_01 on the OS/2 platform. This also includes future versions of the Sun Java platfrom, once supported by the OS/2 Kit for Java.
InnoTek licenses the OS/2 Kit for Java both to individual end users and enterprises. The OS/2 Kit for Java includes licensed material from Sun Microsystems which is licensed to the end user under the conditions of the original Sun licensing agreement. InnoTek OS/2 Kit for Java therefore is a distribution of the original Sun Java Standard Edition combined with InnoTek components to enable the use of the latest Java technology on the OS/2 platform. The license fee for enterprise customers is charged only for the InnoTek components - the original Sun Java distribution is provided free of charge.
InnoTek OS/2 Kit for Java is available for free personal use. Personal use requires an individual download and installation. Commercial or enterprise use requires a per seat license from InnoTek. Also, support is not available for the free personal license.
For licensing inquiries, please contact InnoTek. Note: InnoTek currently does not accept single orders for quantities smaller than 500 licenses.
InnoTek provides comprehensive support offerings for its OS/2 Kit for Java. Apart from free online support which is provided on a best effort basis, enterprise class support options are available.
InnoTek enterprise support provides the following services to corporate users:
- Defect support -- InnoTek guarantees identical behavior of the OS/2 Kit for Java compared to the original Windows Java environment. If a customer encounters a problem which cannot reproduced on a Windows system, InnoTek will provide a solution which may either involve a code fix or a workaround for an OS/2 platform problem.
- Competitive Performance -- InnoTek guarantees excellent performance for your Java applications when using the OS/2 Kit for Java. Unless limited due to an OS/2 architecture or implementation deficiency, InnoTek delivers performance comparable to the original Windows environment.
- Technology Updates -- As part of the standard product support, InnoTek provides updates to the latest Java technology as it becomes available from Sun Microsystems in a timely manner. As a rule of thumb, InnoTek aims at providing an updated OS/2 Kit for Java no later than 20 working days after a new Java platform release by Sun Microsystem. Upon customer request, InnoTek also provides OS/2 Kit for Java releases for beta or prerelease versions of the Sun Java platform so customers can evaluate tommorow's Java technology from the very beginning.
- Deployment Service -- InnoTek provides support for deploying the OS/2 Kit for Java in your corporate OS/2 environment. The base product provides support for unattended installation using the CID mechanisms. For specific environments, InnoTek will provide custom installation methods.
For free support on a best effort basis by the InnoTek end user community, please refer to the InnoTek Online Support Forums.
For more information on InnoTek enterprise support options for the OS/2 Kit for Java, please contact InnoTek.

Our Supported hardware database is growing continually. Visitors publish reports about servers, notebooks, personal assistants and peripheral devices.
When filling a report about new device, don't forget mention URL with a photo of device (important for mouses, mobile phones), comment about usage in business (for servers, printers and digital cameras), technical characteristics, because all this increases effectiveness of the database.
