JRE availability for Java 8 is ending #500

Open EdTippelt opened 5 years ago

EdTippelt commented 5 years ago

We run Aptana Studio on Windows 7 with JRE 32 bit build 191 and 64 bit GIT. Oracle are ceasing to support Java 8 so I was wondering whether Aptana Studio was either going to bundle the necessary Java components into the Aptana installer, so whether there were any plans to support the replacement which is OpenJDK 11.0.1 but is also a 64 bit implementation. I'm pretty sure that recent releases of the Oracle JRE client have some expiry code built in, so the option of just sticking with the last supported version is not going to work in the longer term. As mentioned in another posting, there is no actual information indicating if a specific minimum version of JRE is required, but it looks like it might be JRE 7 based on the download message when installing on a clean build of windows 7 without any JRE present.

You can use AdoptOpenJDK's JRE. They have 32bit Windows both Java 11 and 8 builds with both HotSpot and OpenJ9 VM https://adoptopenjdk.net/releases.html

However it will be way nicer if Aptana decides to provide Aptana studio as plugins for Eclipse itself so we can have newest Eclipse builds with Aptana plugins. We (non-Java devs) also don't have to worry about Java runtime, Eclipse Packaging project provides Eclipse JustJ Java runtimes inside their packages
