These Servoy Blog and Forum posts state that Servoy requires Sun/Oracle java and not to install it as root.

[Installing Servoy on Linux in 10 seconds](http://blog.servoy.com/installing-servoy-on-linux-in-10-seconds/)

However, these post are from 2010. Is this still true? I thought I read somewhere that Servoy supports all version of Java. Am I correct? What’s the status on this?

Thanks!

As far as I know, Only Oracle/Sun Java will work!

Hi jcarlos.

I’ve tested jrockit from Oracle just to know if it worked with Servoy. And as far as I know, it already works.
