Hi Faustin, we are running GeoServer 2.9.0 on Java 8 exclusively, and if you want to play with it, there is also a demo server at http://demo.geo-solutions.it/geoserver/web/ that's running 2.9.x (the daily nightly build of that series) on Java 8.
Do you have any logs reporting error messages? Did you have a previous version of GeoServer working, or is it the first time you try it? Cheers Andrea PS: this discussion might be better suited for the geoserver-users list, this one has many people that might not be interested in it On Tue, May 31, 2016 at 12:39 PM, Faustin Gashakamba < [email protected]> wrote: > Hello Jody, > > I have had no luck in running GeoServer under Java 8.
