# About WebLogic JRockit

The BEA WebLogic JRockit SDK provides a complete run-time environment, including all the tools and utilities needed to develop and run applications using the Java programming language. It includes the WebLogic JRockit Java Virtual Machine (JVM).

The WebLogic JRockit Java Virtual Machine (JVM) is the first commercial JVM developed expressly for server-side applications. As a crucial component of WebLogic Platform, WebLogic JRockit is optimized for high-performance Java applications deployed on 32-bit and 64-bit Intel architecture systems. Furthermore, WebLogic JRockit provides seamless interoperability across multiple hardware and operating system configurations. WebLogic JRockit makes it possible to gain optimal performance for your server-side application when running it on either the Windows and Linux operating systems and on either 32-bit and 64-bit architectures.

For complete details about WebLogic JRockit, see the following documents:

# Obtaining WebLogic JRockit

You can obtain the BEA WebLogic JRockit 1.4.2 SDK simply by downloading it from the following Web site:

If you want to redistribute this product, you must sign a contract called the BEA WebLogic JRockit Binary Re-Distribution Agreement. This agreement entitles you to obtain the JRockit software at no charge and re-sell it to customers, with or without your own software.

The Binary Re-Distribution Agreement also includes support contracts for BEA partners. The cost of this type of support is calculated from two factors: anticipated redistribution volume and the type of support structure implemented by the partner.

To obtain a copy of the BEA WebLogic JRockit Binary Re-Distribution Agreement, contact BEA at the following email address: jrockit-partner@bea.com.

# Support for WebLogic JRockit in WebLogic Platform Applications

When you distribute WebLogic Platform or any of its components, the WebLogic JRockit SDK is included by default. BEA automatically provides support for your customers who use WebLogic JRockit as part of a WebLogic Platform package.

If you have special support requirements for your business, send your requests to BEA at the following email address: jrockit-partner@bea.com.

# Distributing the JRockit JVM as a Standalone Product

You may distribute WebLogic JRockit as a standalone product. If you do so, however, any of your customers who use the JRockit JVM separately from WebLogic Platform must buy a separate support contract from BEA. For more information, advise your customers to visit the following Web site:

Note: Any Java applications can be run on WebLogic JRockit. When Java applications are not running in a BEA WebLogic environment, however, the configuration settings for the JRockit JVM may need to be adjusted. For more information, see the following documents:
