Error when trying to install with Java 9

[Q]

Hi! I get an error when trying to install Bamboo on Microsoft Windows Server 2016 and with JDK 9.0.1.

Is version 9 not supported?

Hello,

Have a look at the supported platforms

https://confluence.atlassian.com/bamboo/supported-platforms-289276764.html

Java 1.8 is the only supported JDK

Hi Johan,

Java 1.9 is not yet supported by Bamboo 6.2. Please check System requirements page for the list of tools that are supported.

You might have to install JDK 1.8 and then restart the application with it.

Is 9 on the roadmap?

[Przemek Bruski]

Given that 9 will be EOL already this month, we will most likely support the 11 LTS release (available in September).

Makes sense!  Thanks.
