Ubuntu 12.04 and JRE 6

Support - Assistance technique
1

I'm trying to set up a new instance of DHIS on AWS and I thought I
would use the latest Ubuntu 12.04 LTS.
Initial problems with Oracle Java JRE 6 seems to have been deprecated.
Now the choice is openJDK or JRE 7.

Question:
Should I give up on Ubuntu 12.04 and go back to 10.10 or another
earlier version?
Anyone recommendations on which JRE version? Is Oracle JRE 6 required
or will other Java versions work?

Regards,
Mark

Hi,

DHIS is well tested on all the mentioned jdk versions and we recommend going with the new ubuntu lts. Personally I use a manual install of sun java 6 binaries as it performs a bit better on the datamart process. Using the repository version of openjdk 7 might be the easiest option.

I've been working with the repository version of openjdk so far
without a hitch (well a few minor hitches - you might have to install
fonts for use in reports which otherwise come bundled with the sun
version). I understand from Lars's measurements a while back that we
take about a 10 to 15% penalty for steering clear of Oracle clutches.
