4.2.0 Java requirement clarification #6

Closed deekayen closed 9 years ago

deekayen commented 9 years ago

I've completely uninstalled Crashplan 3.7.0 (saving my backupArchives) to get my 4.2.0 install going on my 5N, but the Crashplan service isn't starting. Would you clarify whether 4.2.0 expects Java 7 or 8? I had 3.7.0 running with Java 7.

After installing the Java 8 tarball from http://www.droboports.com/app-repository/java8/, Crashplan 4.2.0 started on my 5N.

I'm sorry, I forgot to mention that 4.2.0 now uses java8. This is not a requirement from CrashPlan, I decided to bump the requirement due to the fact that Java 7 is officially deprecated¹, and will be no longer supported. I have updated the crashplan releases page accordingly.
