Hi,
     We are in the process of implementing DSpace 1.7.  The DSpace 
documentation for version 1.7 says:

“DSpace now requires Oracle Java 6 or greater because of usage of new language 
capabilities introduced in 5
and 6 that make coding easier and cleaner….. Only Oracle's Java has been tested 
with each release and is known to work correctly.
Other flavors of Java may pose problems.”


We are currently running DSpace 1.5.1 on a Sun Solaris 10 Unix machine and our 
current version of JAVA is:

java version "1.6.0_07"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_07-b06)
Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (build 10.0-b23, mixed mode)


Do we need a different version of JAVA?  The link in the DSpace doc takes us to 
an Oracle.com download page where it points to:
Java SE 6 Update 23


I guess I’m confused by the language, “other flavors of Java….” since I didn’t 
realize there was any other Java than Oracle Java….???

Thanks in advance,
Sue
