My suggestion is to please support Java 11. I realise your dependant on Eclipse supporting this and the recommendation is Java 8 but you need to update as we all want to be using the latest and greatest tools. The rest of this is just an FYI in case anyone else has this issue. I’m running Xubuntu …

On XUbuntu 19.10 Java 11 is the default so an out of the box experience with Katalon would of been nice. However you are correct I have installed jre8 and run Katalon. For those watching at home I did: sudo apt install openjdk-8-jre And I then created a small script in the “Katalon_Studio_Linux_…

on any linux distro you can use more than one java version. so, what is stopping you to install openjdk8? i do understand that you need also the latest, so you can put jdk8 manualy (not through the package manager) and launch katalon via a simple script which sets java_home and whatever else neede…

Unfortunately, because Java 8 is still the first class citizen for Eclipse platform and most of its plugins, Java 11 is not going to be supported in the near future.

I have been using Java 11 with Eclipse for quite a while… and it is supported.

Install opensdk-8-jre : sudo apt-get install openjdk-8-jre Switch to jre-8: sudo update-alternatives --config java output - There are 2 choices for the alternative java (providing /usr/bin/java). Selection Path Priority Status ---------------…

One of the issues with Katalon depending on a VERY old version of the JDK and JAVA_HOME is that if you are performing katalon tests on a machine which is using JAVA_HOME for others reasons such as running maven then one runs into problems. One cannot have 2 versions of JAVA_HOME. I would guess we …

[image] john.charles.dickers: One cannot have 2 versions of JAVA_HOME. There is no need to have two versions of the JAVA_HOME variable, you can export this environment variable at runtime with a bash script only for the current execution, pointing to the right bin. therefore you can have as m…

I made a mistake - I meant to say the linux version has no embedded jre but the version for mac does. Thanks for your answer - I did not receive an email notification for your answer - strange.

[image] john.charles.dickers: I meant to say the linux version has no embedded jre but the version for mac does. Thought so. I don’t see anyway a major inconvenient yet, all major linux distributions have openjdk8 available in repositories. Despite being ‘ancient’ it is still widely used. On…

Is it still the stance that Katalon will not move to a higher version of Java (11+) at any time? This issue was brought up 4 years ago, and now in '23 having issues with being required to use Java 11 and Java 8 no longer being supported. I understand there is a way to configure the environment to …
