Bonita x.x and Java x - Oracles Statement...and AutoUpdate
Hi there,
I had a small problem yesterday that I couldn't fathom out.
My JAVA application wouldn't work. Why? I got the error message
Unsupported major.minor version 52.0
So I looked it up and it says - my application is built with the wrong version of JAVA - interesting when I compiled it two days ago it worked, compiling it yesterday and it doesn't. On further investigation I saw that my JAVA had UPDATED to 8 automatically ...
Further to this I looked and found this statement on Oracles JAVA web page :
Coincident with the January 2015 CPU release users with the auto-update feature enabled will be migrated from Oracle JRE 7 to Oracle JRE 8. Also, please note the April 2015 CPU release will be the last Oracle JDK 7 publicly available update. For more information, and details on how to receive longer term support for Oracle JDK 7, please see the Oracle Java SE Support Roadmap.
Oracle updated my installed JAVA to version 8 automatically through the auto-update feature.
I have to ask when will Bonita support JAVA 8? I understand there may be issues but with Oracle "forcing" people to upgrade it seems that this will soon become a wider issue.
Many thanks and best regards Seán
Hi Seán,
Java 8 will be supported by and upcoming version of BonitaBPM.
In the meantime it's possible to install side by side two versions of Java. For Studio, you should specify the JVM to use by editing .ini file. You can refer to Eclipse wiki for all details: http://wiki.eclipse.org/Eclipse.ini
