during installation

Key: JBDS-2995
URL:
https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBDS-2995
Project: Developer Studio (JBoss Developer Studio)
Issue Type: Bug
Security Level: Public(Everyone can see)
Components: installer
Affects Versions: 8.0.0.Beta1
Environment: JBDS 8.0.0.Beta1a B82
OS X Mavericks
Reporter: Martin Malina
Assignee: Denis Golovin
Labels: respin-a
Fix For: 8.0.0.Beta2
We should warn users when they select Java 6 during JBDS installation. Or perhaps even
prohibit them from selecting it?
I just tried it and I was able to install JBDS, but it them wouldn't start - it shows
the splash screen for a few seconds and then stops without any warning or error.
This is related to JBDS-2984 - there we removed the mention that java 6 is supported.
Here I would suggest to show a red warning once java 6 is selected - similar to how we
warn people when they select java 8 in JBDS 7.1.1 installer. Another option would be to
block java 6 altogether (not allow to continue) - that should be considered, since JBDS
does not even start with java 6.
