Migrating to OpenJDK 1.8.0

Proceed as follows to switch between the different JVMs:

  1. Install or update the package:
  • RHEL:yum install java-1.8.0-openjdk-headless
  • SLES:zypper install java-1_8_0-openjdk-headless
  1. Optional: Execute the update-alternatives --config java command and select "OpenJDK 1.8.0".
  2. Make sure that the JAVA_HOME system variable points to "OpenJDK 1.8.0". Therefore, adapt the conf/env.conf file of nevisIDM by setting the JAVA_HOME variable to the correct OpenJDK. For example:
JAVA_HOME=/etc/alternatives/jre_1.8.0

Point to a path without a full version number to simplify upgrades of the installed OpenJDK package. 4. Restart nevisIDM.
