OK, fair enough, but the pages from which one can download it ought to indicate that the product does not support Java 1.7. But I have a new, related problem. I just created a virtual box, with Java 1.6 on it, and I get the same error asking that i upgrade jave to at least 1.6. This seems quite silly as that machine HAS Java 1.6. This new virtual box has Suse 12.1, rather than 12.3, so it's Java is older, as might be expected. On this new virtual box, there is nothing else installed except those tools required by OFBiz.
Any ideas what needs to be fixed on this new virtualbox? Thanks Ted
