java 1.6.0.11_11.1.2.4.0 : Java version 1.6.0_24 not supported. ... required is 1.6.0_35 — oracle-te...

Hello Jan,

I just experienced the same problem with JDeveloper 11.1.2.4 and I think, this is embarrassing for Oracle. Maybe they want to tell us: Better use Eclipse.

Jan, did you try jkd 1.7.0 by chance?

If not can you answer here so that I can test it over the weekend? There has been a backport request for a bug concerning jdev ui (https://java.net/jira/browse/ADFEMG-120) and I could not find the bug fix list for 11.1.2.4.0 (is not available right now).

We are aware of this issue and looking into ways to fix it.

By the way this version of JDeveloper is certified with JDK 7 - so you can use that version to run JDeveloper.

Shay,

Jdev 11.1.1.7.0 is certified for jdk 1.7.0 too (http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/jdev/index-091111.html) but die not run well using it. That's the reason why I asked.

Do you have access to the bug fix document? I can't poem it, so I can't check which bugs have been fixed.

Timo

Thanks for your reply Wolfgang.

... I just experienced the same problem with JDeveloper 11.1.2.4 ...Thank you for the confirmation.

(It does not seem to mention bug '16630481' which you refer to at https://java.net/jira/browse/ADFEMG-120 and which currently also does not seem to be published on My Oracle Support.)

Do you know where Oracle has documented how to switch the JDK to use to run JDeveloper?

Jan, I have tried this but it links to the same page (http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/jdev/jdev-11gr2-nf-404365.html) , you are on.

I'll try it out over the weekend :-)

Just one note about running with JDK7 - there is a known issue documented in the release notes with WLS and JDK7 - see:

Web Service generation only supported with JDK6 (Bug 13252751)

http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/jdev/documentation/11-124-rn-1942343.html

So we would still recommend running with JDK6 if you are using the embedded WLS.

@Shay

there are some other bugs pending (check https://java.net/jira/browse/ADFEMG-120 Bug 14022488 - ADF TREE TABLE CONTROL BLANK WHEN ATTEMPTING TO DROP ON JSPX OR JSF PAGE and the requests for the back ports: Bug 16630481 - RFI BACKPORT OF BUG 14022488 FOR INCLUSION IN 11.1.2.4.0, Bug 16630487 - RFI BACKPORT OF BUG 14022488 FOR INCLUSION IN 11.1.1.9.0)

The backport did not happen for 11.1.2.4.0 as my tests showed.

Jan, it's documented here: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E37975_01/install.111240/e17074/ojdig.htm#BDCFBDAC "5.3 Changing the JDK location". You have to jump to chapter 5 as the direct link to this chapter does not work (for me).

Timo

at C:\oracle\jdevstudio111240-mw\jdeveloper\jdev\bin\jdev.conf

hi

If I check "Help" - "About" in JDeveloper 11.1.2.4.0, the Properties tab allows to find

java.home = C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_43\jre

java.version = 1.6.0_43

If I try to find the same Java System properties for the running "IntegratedWebLogicServer" in JDeveloper, I am not sure how to best do this.

So, I deployed "systempropertiesweb.war" [1] which allows me to request

http://localhost:7101/systempropertiesweb/systemproperties?property=java.home

returning "java.home = C:\oracle\JD6908~1\JDK160~1\jre"

which for me matches "C:\oracle\jdevstudio111240-mw\jdk160_24\jre"

and

http://localhost:7101/systempropertiesweb/systemproperties?property=java.version

returning "java.version = 1.6.0_24"

So, these (JVMs / System property values) are not the same. Is this intended behaviour?

What would/should be the result when you "try jkd 1.7.0"?

Oh, I see the problem (may be).

Once you build the default domain the path to the jdk is hard coded into the setDomainEnv.sh (or setDomainEnv.cmd). To run the integrated wls using another jdk you have to edit this file. It's found under \system11.1.2.4.39.64.36\DefaultDomain\bin folder. In the file change the property

set SUN_JAVA_HOME=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_45If you use the generic installer (like I did) and point to the other JDK it sets this property right to the jdk you used when creating the default domain.

By the way, when you start the integrated wls you get the jdk version it's running on on the log window:

starting weblogic with Java version:

java version "1.6.0_45"

Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_45-b06)

Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.45-b01, mixed mode)if I run using JDK 1.7 i get

java version "1.7.0_21"

Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_21-b11)

Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 23.21-b01, mixed mode, sharing)Timo

Accepted Answer

Thanks for reporting this. This was an oversight on our part.

Just a quick recap for anyone who may stumble on this post later. In JDeveloper 11.1.2.4.0, we bundle JDK 1.6 update 24 in the platform-specific installers (jdevstudio11124install.exe and jdevstudio11124install.bin). We had originally planned to uptake and include a more recent JDK 1.6 version as part of the 11.1.2.4.0 release, but due to reasons I will not go into here, we were unable to do so. However, we had already started to change some of the UI (specifically the error message you get on startup if using an unsupported JDK version) based on the presumed updated JDK version, and we neglected to back out that UI change.

So, the upshot is that JDK 1.6 update 24 is the minimum required release for 11.1.2.4.0. The error message saying otherwise is our mistake. Needless to say, it's rather embarrassing, and we intend to fix this as soon as we can. In the next couple of days, we plan to post an updated 11.1.2.4.0 release with this code reverting to displaying an error only for JDK versions earlier than 1.6 update 24.

What do you need to do? If you are not seeing the error (because you are using JDK 1.6 update 35 or later or you are on a non-Windows platform), you do not need to make any changes. If, however, you are seeing this error and you want it to go away, you can either install a JDK 1.6 update 35 or later (instructions on how to do so are captured later in this thread) or you can re-download and re-install JDeveloper a few days from now when we release the update. In that update the only included bug fix will be to modify the condition in which the error is reported. There will not be a corresponding updated ADF version, as this issue applies only to the JDeveloper launcher code on Windows.

We apologize for the confusion, and thank you for your continued support.
