A real he-man hard core test is to SAVLICPGM jdk6 to save file and delete
it and see if your stuff works.
I did that on my sandbox lpar. Helped a lot. You find those hidden
java_environment variables and stuff. Or even worse, those programs
which claim they support such an environment variable but really insist on
JDK 6 being on your machine - like older versions of Domino. Stupid
<expletive deleted> readiness check they do in the Domino http startup
which will burn you on every OS upgrade and why Domino is never ready on
day 1 of a new release of IBM i.
