Answer 1

You can specify a properties file to load with the environment variable QIBM_JAVA_PROPERTIES_FILE.

QIBM_JAVA_PROPERTIES_FILE=/path/to/myproperties.properties java -cp "Test.jar:lib/*" my.package.MainClass

In addition properties in a file named SystemDefault.properties will be automatically loaded if it exists in the user home directory.

Here are some links to additional documentation that may be useful:

• Installing Java on your IBM i server
• Support for multiple Java Development Kits (JDKs)
• Java system properties
• SystemDefault.properties

Answer 2

Use the environment variable JAVA_HOME On IBM i 7.1, I would specify:

JAVA_HOME='/QOpenSys/QIBM/ProdData/JavaVM/jdk60/64bit'
export JAVA_HOME
java -version

IBM Support Document N1011999 Support Java Versions by Operating System Release describes the JAVA_HOME settings for various operating system releases.
