<h1 align=center>Compatibility</h1>
18
<p>The Berkeley DB Java API has been tested with the
19
<a href="http://www.javasoft.com">Sun Microsystems JDK 1.1.3</a> on SunOS
20
5.5; and Sun's JDK 1.1.7, JDK 1.2.2, JDK 1.3.0 and JDK 1.4.0 on Linux and
21
Windows/NT. It should work with any JDK 1.1-, 1.2-, 1.3- or 1.4-compatible
22
environment (the latter three are known as Java 2). IBM's VM 1.3.0 has
23
also been tested on Linux.
24
<p>The primary requirement of the Berkeley DB Java API is that the target Java
25
environment must support JNI (Java Native Interface) rather than another
26
method for allowing native C/C++ code to interface to Java. The JNI was
27
new in JDK 1.1, but is the most likely interface to be implemented
28
across multiple platforms. However, using the JNI means that Berkeley DB will
29
not be compatible with Microsoft Visual J++.
