Support for Java version 7 terminates in April 2015

Hi

I just got an update notification for java 8.31 - and with it a
notification that Java 7 will no longer be supported after April 2015.

I had no problems running DHIS2 under 8.05, then it would not run
under 8.25 (some switches required, I guess), so I reverted back to
Java 7.71 (now 7.75).

Any feedback on issues running DHIS2 under 8.31 would be appreciated -
if it runs fine, it would make sense to shift to Java 8 in an
organised manner during the first 3 months of 2015.

Regards
Calle

Hi Calle,

For my very small demo dataset and random clicking on some links, DHIS2 works fine on 1.8.0_25
So, it is working well for me. What in Java 8_u25 was not working for you?

May be some unit tests were failing?

Saptarshi,

After I had reverted back to Java 7, one of the Oslo developers
(Morten?) came back with some suggestions for various Java parameters
settings that might or might not have resolved the problem (DHIS2 did
not start at all).

I will install 8.31 again on some machine and test (we are testing 9.4 also).

Regards
Calle

Hello Calle,

You are approaching right way. Yes 8.31 is doing great.

Try with this jdk version, really it works.
