Hello @all

We want to work with a JDK7 during a Neon installation. In the product file I added a variable task of the type JRE for that.

But the installer lets me only choose JDK/JRE8. Is there a way around this or do I need to refer the JDK7 via URI

Thanks in advance

Steffen,

Perhaps you're mixing two different but related issues. One is the issue of which JVM is used to run the installation. Neon requires Java 1.8. It will not run with Java 1.7, so if you want to run it with Java 1.7, that's simply not possible. The other issue is the JREs available in the running IDE for compiling your Java projects against. That can be any JRE you want and you'd use a JRE task to provision that in the workspace. Of course depending on what you have in your target platform and their BREEs, you may not be able to launch using a 1.7 JRE. I.e., if Neon is in your target platform you will need a 1.8 JRE to launch anything that uses the platform...
