How to find the JRE version in the JIRA installer?

[MattS]

How can I find out which version of Java is bundled with the Linux installer for JIRA? And let's assume that I don't have access to a Linux server to test it on. I tried grep, I tried unpacking it manually

Hi Matt,

             Please go through the release document under jre folder. I am also attaching the screenshot along with the path.

File Location: 

Assuming JIRA Install Directory is under /opt/atlassian/jira
Execute the following command
 
cd /opt/atlassian/jira/jre
 
cat release

Please vote if this helps.

You had to run the installer to get that jre I think? I'm trying to find the JRE version without running the installer, just from the downloaded package

There is already such a description here now: https://confluence.atlassian.com/adminjiraserver/bundled-tomcat-and-java-versions-1360072938.html

I created a suggestion at https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRA-43493 to add the JRE version information to the existing README.txt file in the JIRA server tar.gz package
