==Overview==
IBM Toolbox for Java is difficult to describe in one term or sentence. IBM Toolbox for Java:
* is Java library/package that you use if you need to make a program that interacts with IBM i or the database.
* provides an extensive collection of facilities/functions/utilities, from dealing with spool files, calling RPG/CL programs, or fetching from the database.
* is a mature product with good documentation, both in terms of official manuals and javadocs.
* serves as a core dependency for many programs/software that exist for the i.
* has an open-source fork called JTOpen which has near 1:1 parity (IBM Toolbox for Java is just the officially-licensed product, for which support can be purchased).

In my opinion, IBM Toolbox for Java is one of the most important software components for the IBM i platform. Many things appear to use it as a core component under the hood. -[[User:Norwinu|norwizzle]] ([[User talk:Norwinu|talk]])

Without being 100% sure (but the evidence sure points to it), everything uses it (or its open-source variant, JTOpen):
