1. Re: WildFly 10: minimum requirements
ctomc Feb 12, 2016 2:18 PM (in response to alicia-lobo)1 of 1 people found this helpfulyes, as release notes mention, JDK8 is *hard* requirement, it wont run on JDK7 at all.
as runtime you have Java SE 8 if you want to be specific,
Java EE is specification, which WildFly itself implements, so there is no such thing as java ee 8 download (btw current latest is EE7)
memory requirements of WildFly itself are low, it uses less than 20mb of ram on default (empty) standalone config.
but, it is more important how much will your application use/need.

alicia-lobo Feb 15, 2016 2:58 AM (in response to ctomc)Thank you Tomaz for your very clear answer. In that case WildFly 9 is the one for me.
Is there really no list of minimum system requirements anywhere? This is something that most people expect to see when they download an application or tool.

Why? you have requirement to still use JDK7 as run time environment? keep in mind that JDK is EOL since April last year http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/eol-135779.html
You can still compile your project for JDK7 but deploy it on JDK8 runtime.

Unfortunately I do have the requirement to use JDK7, EOL and all

True, although I would feel more comfortable keeping my development and production environments as similar as possible.
In any case I've just discovered that WildFly no longer supports OSGi out of the box and the JBoss OSGi project is not active enough for my peace of mine... so afaics WildFly is not an option for me.
Thanks a lot for your inputs in any case!

You can always use newer version of JDK and compile to lower one, for example use JDK8 everywhere, but force source & target version of compiler to 1.7, which is quite common practice everywhere.
If you need to use OSGi for your work, all I can say is good luck with your endeavors.
Personally I would go mad if I had to use it...

Right, you mean set the compiler compliance to 7 but actually run on 8, even during development. Sorry, it's the end of a long day and I'm being a bit thick
Yes, that makes sense.

Actually, although I definitely needed to adjust when I first started using OSGi I do enjoy it now. I don't know if it's the most practical thing ever but it does encourage good programming practices.
Having to target Java 7 is more of a pain
