Utility classes

The utility classes enable you to do administrative tasks, such as using the AS400JarMaker class.

IBM® Toolbox for Java™ offers the following utilities:

Client installation and update classes
For most installation and update purposes, the IBM Toolbox for Java classes can be referenced at their location in the integrated file system on the server.
CommandHelpRetriever class
The CommandHelpRetriever class retrieves help text for IBM i control language (CL) commands and generates that text either in HTML or User Interface Manager (UIM) format. You can run CommandHelpRetriever from a command line or embed the functionality into your Java program.
RunJavaApplication
The RunJavaApplication and VRunJavaApplication classes are utilities to run Java programs on the IBM i JVM.
JPing
The JPing class is a command line utility that allows you to query your servers to see which services are running and which ports are in service. To query your servers from within a Java application, use the AS400JPing class.
