Hello, So apparently Oracle are planning to EOL JDK 1.8 in September this year. In addition to this, I tend to nuke the builtin version of Java bundles within oXygen in .install4j/jre.bundle and replace it with a symlink of .install4j/jre.bundle pointing to the system wide install at /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/current (which is itself a symlink pointing to the current version. So currently the oXygen installation contains this: bash-4.4$ ls -l /usr/local/oXygenXML/stable/oxygen/.install4j/jre.bundle lrwxr-xr-x 1 ben wheel 41 20 Dec 08:16 /usr/local/oXygenXML/stable/oxygen/.install4j/jre.bundle -> /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/current bash-4.4$ ls -l /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/current lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 50 1 Nov 03:18 /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/current -> /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_151.jdk bash-4.4$ What I need to know is: 1. Whether or not it's safe to update the system wide JDK to 1.9 (aka Java 9) for oXygen 19.1. 2. Has oXygenXML Editor 19.1 been tested with JDK/JRE 1.9? 3. If so, are there any known issues affecting oXygen with JDK 1.9? 4. If so, would it be best to stick with JDK 1.8 for the moment? Copying the user list in because I'm reasonably sure others may be interested in the answers to this one.
