Does Bonita BPM 7.3 requires Java 6 on a Mac (El Capitan)?

Q&A
1

Hi all,

I’m trying to install Bonita BPM 7.3.2 on my mac (El Capitan) and when doing so it says that it requires Java 6 (and actually in the website, when clicking on the link “Prerequisites” of Bonita BPM 7.3.2 it drives me to page of the last version of Java 8). So, does it really require Java 6?
I am experiencing some problem when trying to uninstall Java 8 to install Java 6, and I also have some programs which require Java 8. Is anyone facing this problem as well? Do you know how to solve it?

Thank you very much,
Eduardo

This is a screw up in the install delivery, I’ve submitted a bug here:

https://bonita.atlassian.net/browse/BBPMC-418

Rest assured 7.x.x only runs on Java 7 or 8 and definitely NOT 6.

Hi Eduardo,

as Antoine says please refer to his post on the bug site. Also my apologies I should have either told you to create it yourself or told you to add a watch to the bug report so you would get immediate responses.
