Max Rydahl Andersen commented on JBDS-2990:
-------------------------------------------

Guys - this is what we agreed and fixed in JBDS-2961.

The installer states *exactly* the truth. 

It is seeing a JavaVM it does not know (in this case Java 1.8.0) and in past the installer blocked, now it warns you. This would be same message if you had tried Java 1.9.0 or Java 1.2.0.

What this bug really should be on about is that we list Java 6 as supported which is *not* the case anymore.
