Latest Java Runtime Environment (Oracle JDK and OpenJDK supported) IMPORTANT: OpenJDK is automatically deployed by ExpertAssist if no supported version of Java is found. However, in some cases previously installed versions of Java (Oracle or OpenJDK) may not have been cleanly uninstalled. This situation can prevent the ability to properly detect when the OpenJDK version needs to be automatically deployed. Please see Desktop Authority KB 266071 for more information on detecting and resolving this issue. |
