Notes
- In table above, the "Yes (built with this version)" means that the given version of Collaborator was built using the given version of Java environment.
- OpenJDK 11 is recommended, Oracle JRE/JDK 11 will work as well.
-
On systems with multiple JREs installed, it may be necessary to specify to the installer which JRE should be used for Collaborator. On Windows platforms, running the installer with the
-manualargument will suppress the JRE search and cause the installer to prompt for the JRE location (specifically, java.exe). On Unix platforms, you can specify the JRE location by setting theINSTALL4J_JAVA_HOME_OVERRIDEenvironment variable to theJAVA_HOMEvalue.
