“Alright folks, welcome back. Today’s session picks up right where the chaos left off. We finally tore Java 17 out of our IBM i system, gone, erased, banished to the shadow realm - and that means it’s time to fire up the IBM BOB build using Code for IBM i once again.
Naturally, nothing ever behaves on the first try. A couple of sneaky little RULES.MK troublemakers popped their heads up, but we hunted them down, patched them up, and then - BOOM - clean compile. Beautiful.
But the real victory lap? No more Java log files. Not a single one. The system is quiet, clean, and behaving like it actually likes us again.
Looks like this chapter of the saga is finally wrapped up. Huzzah.
