Question on Java Version Required for Installation...


Recommended Posts

Posted

I am trying to install PWCG and I get the following error - "The application required a Java Runtime Environment 1.8.0 (64bit)"

I play a lot of MegaMek as well so I have installed OpenJDK11U-jdk_x64_windows_hotspot_11.0.14_9 from https://adoptium.net/index.html?variant=openjdk11

Megamek is like a tabletop BattleTech and works just fine. Unfortunately, MegaMek needs this version.  https://github.com/MegaMek/megamek/wiki/Updating-to-Adoptium

 

c:\java --version

---------------------output from above below

openjdk 11.0.14 2022-01-18
OpenJDK Runtime Environment Temurin-11.0.14+9 (build 11.0.14+9)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM Temurin-11.0.14+9 (build 11.0.14+9, mixed mode)

 

Does PWCG not support OpenJDK?  A JDK has the JRE so I can only assume it is the version.  Anyone have any ideas?  Thanks in advance!

Not sure why it's not running.  I run mine with 64 bit Java 11.   Java 8 is the minimum version.  PWCG is pretty minimal as far as dependencies go.
