    Hello Guest, re: RACF and Crypto support, please see blog: "Java 11 on z/OS Security Extensions Under Consideration for Service Stream Updates". For WebSphere Liberty support of Java 11, please see blog: "WebSphere Application Server for z/OS and IBM Semeru Runtime Certified Edition for z/OS, Version 11". Thank you.

    Hello, the current version of Java 11 for z/OS (GA) can not use the RACF and Crypto Harware?!

    The next issue is the maintenance for JAVA and WebSphere Liberty at the same time.

    Java should be compatible and tested with WebSphere Liberty.

    Dear Guest, regarding comment "I still think there must also be an SMP/E installable format available as long as it's not included in z/OS", there is a SMP/E installable format for Java 11 on z/OS. This RFE is specifically requesting installation via the Installation Manager.
