Description Pavel Janousek 2014-04-18 10:25:02 UTC
As far as I know for RPM installation customer has to install JDK7 *and* JDK6 although he would like to use JDK7. There was a notice box in the past about this, but now I can't find it.

I'm not aware of any change, so this should be this warning returned back.

Comment 1 sgilda 2014-05-27 18:46:13 UTC
I looked at the history of this topic and it originally stated:

    A Java 6 JDK is required. This can be obtained by subscribing to the supplementary software channel for your Red Hat Enterprise Linux installation. For example; the channel for Red Hat Enterprise Linux version 6 installed on i386 architecture is rhel-i386-server-supplementary-6.

On February 17, 2014, Misha Husnain modified it to the current text to fix Bug 1025791	"EAP 6 supports JDK 7".

Misha, since that bug is still in the assigned state, I will assign this related but to you.

Comment 2 Scott Mumford 2014-05-29 00:44:18 UTC
Reverting to eap-docs assignee as Misha no longer works on EAP documentation.

Please note the dependency on bug 1025791.

Comment 3 Russell Dickenson 2014-05-30 03:38:15 UTC
I have amended the text to the following. When the Installation Guide build on the docs-devel site is updated I will set this ticket to ON_QA.

"On Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5, JDK 6 must be installed, even if JDK 7 only is to be used. On Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 and higher, only a JDK 7 is required. This can be obtained by subscribing to the <literal>supplementary</literal> software channel for your Red Hat Enterprise Linux installation. For example; the channel for Red Hat Enterprise Linux version 6 installed on i386 architecture is <systemitem>rhel-i386-server-supplementary-6</systemitem>."
