Java version compatibility

[gioppoluca]

Can someone write an updated list of compatible (advised versions) of Java for TEIID?

It seems that, looking at the web site that on the web site, there is listed the minimum java as the 1.6.0.18 (from a bug found time ago).

But looking at the forum there is people that is using also java 1.7 but seems that for example jdk_1.7.0_40 has a known bug.

Also difference from OpenJDK and Oracle JDK cloud be useful.

Maybe a table like the following could be nice

TEIID version	Good JDK	Bad JDK
TEIID x	OpenJDK > 1.6.0.18 or 1.7.0_25 or 1.8.... Oracle JDK > 1.6.0.18 or 1.7.0_25	OpenJDK 1.7.0_40 (reference to issue or forum)

This could also help people to keep the knowledge updated on strange behaviours that consume lot of debugging time.

Thanks

Luca,

Unfortunately we do not test with variety of JDK versions. I know we use either Oracle JDK or OpenJDK for development. Your suggestion is good, but the content needs to flow from the user experiences. If you want to create the content here Installation Guide - Teiid 8.10 (draft) - Project Documentation Editor I will accept your contribution.

BTW, when Redhat converts the community project into a product it does test with variety of JDK versions and supports them.

Thanks

Ramesh..
