Java

You need a Java Development Kit (JDK) or a Java Runtime Environment (JRE) on your system to run Magnolia and the Tomcat application server that ships with the bundle. JRE is an implementation of the Java Virtual Machine which executes Java programs. JDK is a bundle of software that you can use to develop Java based applications. If you plan to write your own Java code get the JDK. If you just want to run Magnolia then JRE is sufficient.

Magnolia releases run on the active Java version at the time of the first release.

Java and JDK refers here to Oracle Java releases. Please see also Oracle's page Oracle Java SE Support Roadmap.

While OpenJDK/IcedTea in general works, it is known to fail to produce correct results in certain corner cases.

  • Wildfly (JBoss AS):
    • Wildfly 8, 9
    • Wildfly 10 (requires Java 8 or later)
  • IBM WebSphere Application Server 7 and later.
