Java SE 8 JDK
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk8-downloads-2133151.html
This new major release contains several new features and enhancements that increase the performance of existing applications, make it easier to develop applications for modern platforms, and increase maintainability of code.

Java SE 7u51 JDK
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk7-downloads-1880260.html
This release includes important security fixes. Oracle strongly recommends that all Java SE 7 users upgrade to this release.

HOW TO:
Install on server in "Program Files\Java' as per default then copy the contents from inside "Program Files\Java\Java 8\" folder (exlude 'db', 'include', 'jre' folders as well as src.zip) and overwrite the files in "AwareIM\JDK\" folder.

I've installed and tested the x64 bit version.

And have you noticed any improvements in anything?

Just had it installed & if I notice any improvements in 8 over 7.051 I'll post it here.

I can tell you though, having every component x64 bit makes the whole app run very fast.

I tend to update these things (JDK & Ttomcat etc..) for security and I basically like it to be up to date.

And have you noticed any improvements in anything?

To be honest my app is not that large and does not have a large user base to be able to measure the performance accurately.

But, apparently this JDK version has some significant performance improvements.

Hi all,

I have update to JDK 8 and I have the following issue with reports:

bad class file: java\lang\Object.class(java\lang😮bject.class)
class file has wrong version 52.0, should be 50.0
Please remove or make sure it appears in the correct subdirectory of the classpath.
public class Report extends JRCalculator
com.bas.basserver.documents.DocumentException: Error compiling report. Please see error messages in the console window.

Anyone tried this?

thank you

Rennur

I haven't come across any issues with reports so far.
Have you updated both the system and the the AwareIM/JDK diretory?

Cheers

You need to copy the file tools.jar from JDK to the AwareIM/Tomcat/lib directory. This file is used when reports are compiled, so you have a file from an older version of JDK you will be getting this problem.
