I've been using both OpenJDK and Oracle JDK 7 fine with Jena, not had any issues.
Can't see why there would be a problem with the updates, as long as it is a recent one. AFAIK, Jena is not using any "fancy" features in JDK. (I actually ran into this compiler issue with Travis having an outdated 7u05 (from Ubuntu?) the other day, but not Jena related: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/travis-ci/atpJ2q_hJf8 ) On 15 September 2014 10:34, Rob Vesse <[email protected]> wrote: > Cray are looking to upgrade to the 2.12.x line of Jena and of course this > requires moving to Java 7 > > I've been asked if there is a minimum Java 7 update that is needed for Jena > and if there is a specific JDK that people recommend. > > I know as a community we use a variety of different JDKs (Oracle, OpenJDK, > IBM) and that there aren't any incompatibilities between them AFAIK.
