[ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBDS-3743?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.... ] Nick Boldt edited comment on JBDS-3743 at 10/21/16 2:26 PM: ------------------------------------------------------------ Reopened to fix JIRA title (this is re: devstudio 10, not 9). But wanted to also note some other gotchas with using devstudio 10.2.0.AM2 and jdk 9: a) installer won't run with jdk 9, as noted above b) installer DOES run with jdk 8, then by editing `jbdevstudio.ini` with these values you can START devstudio 10.2 using jdk 9 ea build 140: {code}-vm /opt/jdk-9-ea+140/bin/java ... -vmargs --add-modules=java.se.ee{code} !launchdevstudio10.2.0.AM2-with-jdk9ea140-configuration-settings.png|thumbnail! However... (and this is why I reopened this issue, really) On startup there's no JRE available: !launchdevstudio10.2.0.AM2-with-jdk9ea140-jre-not-supported.png|thumbnail! I tried adding JDK 9 ea build 140, and Eclipse rejects the /opt/jdk-9-ea+140 folder with: {code} Target is not a JDK root. System library was not found. {code} So... I don't see any way to actually USE devstudio with JDK 9, other than simply launching it and then using JDK 8 for everything else. was (Author: nickboldt): Reopened to fix JIRA title (this is re: devstudio 10, not 9).
