I probably shouldn't ask this and just "innocently" do it. But I'm not that smart. So I'll ask. I use the NetBeans IDE for Java (and C/C++) development on Linux/Intel. This is not about using NetBeans vs any other IDE, so lets please not go there, OK?
If I am using just "plain ole" java and using the SDK, I don't have any problems using NetBeans to do what I need, and I simply do a binary upload of the resulting Java jar file to z/OS. So far, no problems. But if I want to do more "real" z/OS development. This means using some "non standard" libraries (jar files). In particular the "ibmjzos.jar" along with others. In order to easily use this (and other) libraries, I need to download them to my PC and register them with NetBeans as a standard library. So, I am having problems determining if the above download is permissible. We have a z/OS license. And so I know that using them and even developing with then is permissible, at least if I develop on z/OS. But I don't want to try to run NetBeans on z/OS. That's just silly. I really cannot find a decent explanation of how these Java jar libraries are licensed, especially with respect to doing development off-platform. -- We all have skeletons in our closet.
