Install Java?

Post by hpl123 »

Hi support/all,
I need to install Java on a Windows machine that has Aware (to use with a specific Java IDE) and before installing I just want to make sure this doesn´t mess up Aware in some way? Do I need to change anything in Aware or related to Java to get Aware to work?

https://www.java.com/en/download/

Thanks in advance

Henrik,

Installing java anywhere outside of the top AwareIM folder will not affect AwareIM at all.

Note: If you plan on creating java plug-ins for Aware, using a newer version of java than what Aware uses could cause problems with the plug-in. For that reason, when I create plug-ins for aware I use the jave in AwareIM/JDK.

Thanks Bob and yes it is for plugins so thanks for mentioning the potential problem thing when using other versions.
