Supported versions of AR System would continue to be supported on the existing Java 5.0, but any issues found that related to a defect or limitation of J2SE 5.0 could not be escalated back to Sun Microsystems (or Oracle, in the future) for collaberative diagnosis and/or resolution for J2SE 5.0. As with all cases like this, resolving any issues within AR System caused directly by an issue with Java 5.0 would become discretionary on the part of BMC. In other words, if something works properly on Java 6.0, but not Java 5.0, BMC may choose to recommend moving to Java 6.0 to address that particular situation. Also note that while the "free" Java SE 5.0 is EoL, Sun will continue to support Java 5.0 through their Java SE for Business offering (http://www.sun.com/software/javaseforbusiness/index.jsp) which has "up to 15 years of support per release family". So Sun does expect to continue support for the Java 5.0 code base, just not through the J2SE 5.0 product. It would be my tentative expectation that once Java 7 is released (which, I believe, is scheduled for mid-to-late-2010), the version of AR System released after that date would have Java 6.0 as a minimum version. That's been the general trend of BMC products - supporting the current version and one back at the time of an AR System release. -David J.

The EOL transition period began April 8th, 2008 and will complete October 30th, 2009, when J2SE 5.0 will have reached its End of Service Life (EOSL)." Is that to say from October 30th 2009 Remedy will not support jdk 1.5.0_12? and why is jdk mentioned anyway? I would thought jdk was for development.... I would have better understood jvm or jre ... I have now this concern because when we tried to install remedy 7 we got a java error message and the installer crashed any idea/thoughts/help? thanks SR _Platinum Sponsor: rmisoluti...@verizon.net ARSlist: "Where the Answers Are"_ _______________________________________________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE or access ARSlist Archives at www.arslist.org Platinum Sponsor:rmisoluti...@verizon.net ARSlist: "Where the Answers Are"
