What is the cause of the IllegalArgumentException error message I'm getting?

[Rick Kane]

When I try to install Bamboo. I first got a message that it couldn't find the 64 bit version of JRE. I clicked the locate button and put in the path. Then I got the following message. I aam stuck at this point. Please help!

-------<Message start>-------------------

Hey Rick,

Bamboo doesn't yet support Java 1.9. I suspect you'll just need to install JDK 1.8 instead:

Hope this helps. :)
