Warning

This documentation is for SDK 5. The latest major version is SDK 6. SDK 5 is in maintenance mode since the release of SDK 5.8.0. Consequently, as stated in the SDK End User License Agreement (EULA), the SDK will reach the end of its life by July 2028. Contact our support team for assistance with migrating to the new SDK, or your sales representative if you require an extension of SDK maintenance as a service.

    • macOS aarch64 with M1 chip (tested on version 12.0.1 Monterey), from SDK Distribution 22.06 (requires Architecture 7.18.0 or higher)

  • Java Runtime Environment :

The compatible JRE/JDK version depends on the Distribution, the SDK and the Architecture version. This table lists the supported combinations:

Distribution

SDK

Architecture

JRE/JDK

>= 22.06

>= 5.6.0

>= 7.17.0

JDK 11

<= 21.11

>= 5.6.0

>= 7.17.0

JRE or JDK 8 or 11

<= 21.11

< 5.6.0

*

JRE or JDK 8

<= 21.11

< 7.17.0

JRE or JDK 8

The combinations not listed here are not supported. For the supported combinations, tests have been done with both the Oracle and the Eclipse Adoptium JDK builds.

Warning

It is important to note that the SDK Distributions 22.06 and higher require a JDK 11 (not a JRE) and can be used only with an Architecture 7.17.0 or more.

Get JDK

You can download and install a JDK from Adoptium or Oracle.

Warning

Up to version 23.02 of the SDK Distribution, when installing the Eclipse Temurin/AdoptOpenJDK build on Windows, the option JavaSoft (Oracle) registry keys must be enabled:

../_images/adoptopenjdk-install.png

Without this option, the SDK installer cannot find the JDK and the message The application requires a Java Runtime Environment 8 is displayed.
