EAServer requires (and installs) versions 1.5.0, and 1.6.0 of the Java Development Kit (JDK) from Sun Microsystems. You can also configure the installation to use an existing version, as long as it is of the required patch level.
JDK version |
Patch level |
|---|---|
1.5.0 |
12 |
1.6.0 |
02 |
To verify the version and patch level, open a DOS prompt in the bin directory of the JDK installation and run:
java -version
The installer prompts you to specify whether to use an existing JDK and for the location of the JDK. If the installer detects an existing JDK, the location is given as the default in this prompt. You can specify a different location.
