Certified stack

This page lists the software components and versions that DX Core and the Jackrabbit repository have been tested on.

If you don’t see a particular software component listed on this page, it means that we do not routinely test Magnolia on it. If you require official certification for a specific software component or version, contact us.

Java

You need a Java Development Kit (JDK) or a Java Runtime Environment (JRE) on your system to run Magnolia and either the Tomcat application server that ships with the bundle or a Java EE 8 / Jakarta EE 8 compliant server.

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 11 (LTS)	Java 8 (LTS)
Magnolia 6.1
