Hello, we have to update our java version in our DSpace installation to Java 7. Is DSpace manual warning (below) still valid? I couldn't get anywhere following these links and I couldn't find that bug with google either. Our Dspace version is 1.8. Also is that bug an annoyance (crashes seldom) or really bad?
"4.2.2 Oracle Java JDK 6 (standard SDK is fine, you don't need J2EE) DSpace requires Oracle Java 6 (standard SDK is fine, you don't need J2EE). Please note, at this time, DSpace does not function properly with Java JDK 7 (see warning below). Oracle's Java can be downloaded from the following location: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html. Again, you can just download the Java SE JDK version. Java 7 is currently unsupported DSpace does not currently support Java 7, as there is a known issue with Java 7 and Lucene/SOLR (which DSpace uses for search & browse functionality). For more details, see this article on the Apache site: "WARNING: Index corruption and crashes in Apache Lucene Core / Apache Solr with Java 7" as well as this Java bug report: 7073868" Yours Tapani Lehtilä -- Tapani Lehtilä, Tampere University of Technology / Library [email protected] +358 40 849 0208 P.O.Box 537, 33101 Tampere Finland Street address: Korkeakoulunkatu 10, 33720 Tampere, Finland ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Master Visual Studio, SharePoint, SQL, ASP.NET, C# 2012, HTML5, CSS, MVC, Windows 8 Apps, JavaScript and much more.
