Plans for Energia on Java 7 or 8? #495

Closed rei-vilo closed 9 years ago

rei-vilo commented 9 years ago

Energy requires Java 6 on Mac OS X.10 or Yosemite.

Arduino already offers two releases of its IDE: one for Java 6 and another for Java 7.

As Java 7 or 8 is strongly recommended for security reasons, what are the plans for Energia to support Java 7?

I already made some changes to the launcher and have Energia running on Yosemite. A little more work is needed to make a unified launcher so that we keep one Energia distribution rather than having 2 like Arduino has.

Good point :)

It looks like you'll need to ship a 64bit version of librxtxSerial.jnilib to enable Java 7 support on OSX. Additionally Java 7 end of life is this April so Java 8 support is a must.
