[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (JBDS-1168) Installer gotchas about Java 5, gcj and openjdk

[ https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBDS-1168?page=com.atlassian.jira.plug... ] Aaron Pestel commented on JBDS-1168: ------------------------------------ Agreed. My concerns are: 1.) The installer dialog box makes it look like the customer has to have Java 5 and that JBDS itself does not support Java 6 (though EAP requires it). 2.) With the gij/gcj comment I have two issues: A.) I think some have interpreted that to be OpenJDK, IcedTea, or the JVM that comes with RHEL. So if we're going to say we don't support gij/gcj in the installer, I'd like to see us spell it out more clearly. B.) I think by saying we don't support gij/gcj, we are somewhat implying that we do support all the other possible JVMs. That's why I would rather we say it the opposite way like "JBDS has been tested with OpenJDK, SunJDK, and IBM JDK" or something So for proposed verbiage, I would recommend something like this: "JBoss Developer Studio works with Java 5 or Java 6 and has been tested with OpenJDK, SunJDK, and IBM JDK. Please note that JBoss EAP 5 requires Java 6 or higher."
