where is java set in confluence

[John Thrumston]

we are on version 8.6.1 and with Oracle wanting to start charging for java we want to move to the  Eclipse Temurin 17.0.8.1_1 version, I have downloaded and installed it on the server but do not know where in confluence I need to go to change it from oracle to eclipse. I am assuming its a properties file but so far I cannot find where.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Changing the JRE_HOME variable defined in <CONFLUENCE_HOME>/bin/setjre.sh to point to your new JRE installation should do it on Linux.

If that doesn't do the trick, try setting JAVA_HOME as well.

I guess I should have mentioned we are on windows sorry, I will check to see if that is comparable though, thank you

On Windows it's setjre.bat, same location.
