Java Question

Crayge Brown

Probably a stupid question, but...

Does Confluence only run on the latest version of Java, and is it stable on 1.6.19?

We use that old version of Java for other, business-critical, programs so need to know if this will run alongside before committing.

Thanks

Hi Andy,

Which version of Confluence are you using?

Java 6 is supported up to version 5.1 but starting with version 5.2 it will no longer be supported.

As Alex points out you can install a new JVM (Java 7) in a different directory and just update your setenv.sh or setenv.bat (change all mentions of the Java 6 location to the Java 7 location) file in the bin directory of your Confluence installation directory.

Best regard,

Peter

Why not install a separate JVM only for confluence? You can always install many JVM, and modify start script / registry / env variables to allow each program pick its JVM.

Confluence installer ships its own Java, and its unpacked in a subdir of c:\program files\confluence or equivalent. so ... why other programs will run with this new JVM?

Thanks Alex, but I'm more of a hardware guy than software, so I'm not too sure I'd be confident enough to do what you suggest.

Alex Perez

By default if you install confluence from windows installer or standalone pack, it will provide its own JVM and will not use other JVMs previously installed.

But, take the backup/snapshot as usual if you dont want to take unnecesary risks on your bussiness-critical apps.

Hi Peter,

We're not actually using Confluence yet. I was tasked with finding out if this would run on our current setup.

I think that once the software guys get back from hols/site visits, we could probably go through the JVM set up....but it's not something I'm familiar with.

That sounds good, but all of our client machines are running 6.19 too.....Will that make a big difference?
