Java 25 suggested

Post by hedin_m007 »

Hi,

Is there a plan for when OpenWebStart is going to suggest Java 25 as the default JVM?

Kind regards,

No plan. At present OWS works with Java 22.

It does not work with Java 23 and Java 24 as some classes on which it depends have been removed from Java.

To make OWS compatible with Java 25 is going to be a major effort as some classes on which OWS depends have been removed from Java 23 and 24. Given our limited resources, we will undertake the effort only if we have adequate sponsorship from the users of OWS.

Can you please tell me which company do you belong to, what kind of Jnlp applications you are running with OWS and which version of Java is being used currently to run you Jnlp applications?
