Does the JBE for RTC 6.0.0 work with IBM Java 1.8 ?
Greetings,
I was wondering if the Jazz Build Engine edition that comes with RTC 6.0 works with Java 8 ?
I'm trying it out now but I"m getting the usual compiler errors that reference the java.lang.String class that I get with Java 8 and another compiler. I set the jbe.ini file property to default to 1.8 but that doesn't seem to do anything.

According to the system requirement, JDK 8 is with limited support.

(1)Supported for the RTC Eclipse Client Only with either p2 Install Repository or shell-sharing IM-based products which bundle Java 8.0.
For all what its worth, run the JBE with the JVM that ships with the Eclipse client. 32 bit. See
The Java version you build with and you run test with can be a completely different one from the one that runs JBE.
