You should be fine with the version you have. There are a bunch of third-party implementations of the Java language specs (mostly from before the time that Sun/Oracle released their implementation under a license that is considered 'open enough').

Re: [Dspace-tech] Question about the version of JAVA needed for DSpace 1.7
I think thats trying to say we don't recommend the OpenJDK, since it doesn't have all of the proprietary performance enhancements that come in Sun/Oracle's flavor. java version "1.6.0_07" That is Java 6. The version number meant by saying Java 6, means the minor version number. Java 5 would have been 1.5.x_y. So your Java version is fine for DSpace 1.7 -- Peter Dietz Systems Developer/Engineer Ohio State University Libraries On Tue, Jan 11, 2011 at 4:14 PM, Thornton, Susan M.

[Dspace-tech] Question about the version of JAVA needed for DSpace 1.7
Hi, We are in the process of implementing DSpace 1.7. The DSpace documentation for version 1.7 says: “DSpace now requires Oracle Java 6 or greater because of usage of new language capabilities introduced in 5 and 6 that make coding easier and cleaner….. Only Oracle's Java has been tested with each release and is known to work correctly. Other flavors of Java may pose problems.” We are currently running DSpace 1.5.1 on a Sun Solaris 10 Unix machine and our current version of JAVA is: java version "1.6.0_07" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_07-b06) Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (build 10.0-b23, mixed mode) Do we need a different version of JAVA? The link in the DSpace doc takes us to an Oracle.com download page where it points to: Java SE 6 Update 23 I guess I’m confused by the language, “other flavors of Java….” since I didn’t realize there was any other Java than Oracle Java….???
