IBMJava
Availability of IBM Java from the Canonical Partner archive.
First of all the Partner archive needs to be enabled first:
Before doing that you may want to backup your sources.list file:
ubuntu@ppc64el:~$ ls -lad /etc/apt/sources.list* -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3353 Mar 24 06:36 /etc/apt/sources.list drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Mar 24 06:35 /etc/apt/sources.list.d ubuntu@ppc64el:~$ sudo cp /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list_`date +%Y%m%d`.backup ubuntu@ppc64el:~$ ls -lad /etc/apt/sources.list*-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3383 Mar 24 06:36 /etc/apt/sources.list -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3353 Apr 6 09:55 /etc/apt/sources.list_20170508.backup drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Mar 24 06:35 /etc/apt/sources.list.d
Now edit your /etc/apt/sources.list manually or just execute:
ubuntu@ppc64el:~$ sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu $(lsb_release -sc) partner"
You should no have some entries like this in your sources.list file:
ubuntu@ppc64el:~$ grep ^deb.*partner /etc/apt/sources.list deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu xenial partner
If so just update the archive indices with:
ubuntu@ppc64el:~$ sudo apt update -qq
You should now be able to find the packages with:
ubuntu@ppc64el:~$ apt list | grep ^ibm WARNING: apt does not have a stable CLI interface. Use with caution in scripts. ibm-java80-jdk/xenial 8.0.4.1-0ubuntu1 ppc64el ibm-java80-jre/xenial 8.0.4.1-0ubuntu1 ppc64el
Or just have a direct look in the package archive files:
ubuntu@ppc64el:~$ grep Package /var/lib/apt/lists/archive.canonical.com_ubuntu_dists_$(lsb_release -sc)_partner_binary-ppc64el_Packages | grep ibm-java Package: ibm-java80-jdk Package: ibm-java80-jre
Get more details about the installation candidates with:
ubuntu@ppc64el:~$ apt-cache policy ibm-java80-jdk ibm-java80-jre ibm-java80-jdk: Installed: (none) Candidate: 8.0.4.1-0ubuntu1 Version table: 8.0.4.1-0ubuntu1 500 500 http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu xenial/partner ppc64el Packages ibm-java80-jre: Installed: (none) Candidate: 8.0.4.1-0ubuntu1 Version table: 8.0.4.1-0ubuntu1 500 500 http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu xenial/partner ppc64el Packages
Okay, let's now do the install - of the JRE and the JDK - you have to accept the license in between (you can use and install the two packages for sure also separately):
ubuntu@ppc64el:~$ sudo apt install ibm-java80-jdk ibm-java80-jre Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done The following NEW packages will be installed: ibm-java80-jdk ibm-java80-jre 0 upgraded, 2 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. Need to get 121 MB of archives.

Now let's have a look which version we just installed:
ubuntu@ppc64el:~$ dpkg -l | grep ibm-java ii ibm-java80-jdk:ppc64el 8.0.4.1-0ubuntu1 ppc64el IBM Java(TM) Development Kit (JDK) 8.0 ii ibm-java80-jre:ppc64el 8.0.4.1-0ubuntu1 ppc64el IBM Java(TM) Runtime Environment (JRE) 8.0
or in case you prefer the apt way:
ubuntu@ppc64el:~$ apt list | grep ^ibm WARNING: apt does not have a stable CLI interface. Use with caution in scripts. ibm-java80-jdk/xenial,now 8.0.4.1-0ubuntu1 ppc64el [installed] ibm-java80-jre/xenial,now 8.0.4.1-0ubuntu1 ppc64el [installed]
or using again apt-cache policy:
ubuntu@ppc64el:~$ apt-cache policy ibm-java80-jdk ibm-java80-jreibm-java80-jdk: Installed: 8.0.4.1-0ubuntu1 Candidate: 8.0.4.1-0ubuntu1 Version table: *** 8.0.4.1-0ubuntu1 500 500 http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu xenial/partner ppc64el Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status ibm-java80-jre: Installed: 8.0.4.1-0ubuntu1 Candidate: 8.0.4.1-0ubuntu1 Version table: *** 8.0.4.1-0ubuntu1 500 500 http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu xenial/partner ppc64el Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
The IBM Java JRE reports itself as:
ubuntu@ppc64el:~$ java -version java version "1.8.0" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build pxz6480sr4fp1-20170215_01(SR4 FP1)) IBM J9 VM (build 2.8, JRE 1.8.0 Linux ppc64el-64 Compressed References 20170209_336038 (JIT enabled, AOT enabled) J9VM - R28_20170209_0201_B336038 JIT - tr.r14.java.green_20170125_131456 GC - R28_20170209_0201_B336038_CMPRSS J9CL - 20170209_336038) JCL - 20170215_01 based on Oracle jdk8u121-b13
And the IBM Java JDK / Java compiler is:
ubuntu@ppc64el:~$ javac -version javac 1.8.0 ubuntu@ppc64el:~$
Finally let's do a quick verification and let's close we the almost mandatory HelloWorld example:
ubuntu@ppc64el:~$ vi HelloWorld.java ubuntu@ppc64el:~$ cat HelloWorld.java public class HelloWorld { public static void main(String[] args) { System.out.println("Hello "+System.getProperty("os.arch")+" World!"); } } ubuntu@ppc64el:~$ javac HelloWorld.java ubuntu@ppc64el:~$ java HelloWorld Hello ppc64el World! ubuntu@ppc64el:~$
