Supported Java Versions

In principle, the OMII server will run with any Java JDK and the client will run with any Java JRE.  

However, the OMII carries out Java version checking during both Client and Server installations to give information relating to exactly which platforms have undergone certain levels of testing.

On the client side, Java version checking uses java-support.xml (located in your unpacked OMII Client release in omii-client/client). During installation the OMII Client Java version checker behaves as follows:

  1. Supported Java Version - installation continues.

  2. Unsupported Java Version - installation stops with the message "Java version xx from vendor xx is not supported. See file java-support.xml".

  3. Unknown Java Version - you will be prompted with the message "Nothing known about Java version xxx from vendor xxx. This software has not been tested with this version of Java. Do you want to proceed with the installation anyway? (y,n)."

On the server side, at present, Java version checking is carried out against a static list in java-support.xml (located in your unpacked OMII Server release in omii-server/base.)

OMII quality assured Java versions

The OMII software has undergone a more rigorous level of quality assurance with certain Java versions. This includes use of the NMI testbed, manual task-based testing and bug verification and longer running stress tests.

For the OMII_3.2.0 release, the following Java versions underwent more rigorous QA:
