IBMi 6.0.4 Java installed version

James,

the description of the JBE and the Java needed has always left something to be desired, to be honest.

1. I would usually assume that the version of Java shipped with the server and the clients (RTC Eclipse) is the version the JBE was tested against
2. Supported does not mean it only works with the version, supported means what our support will recommend if there are issues and they can use for testing and reproducing the issue
3. Especially for the JBE etc the version of Java that these are run with can be completely different of the versions of Java that is used within a build or by the build tools used

So, I don't think there is an issue. If you can use the version shipped with the server/client for the JBE (for a 32 bit JBE use the 32 bit version for 64 bit the 64 bit version. You can use others unless you get problems. E.g. I have seen communication problems with Java 8 and the RTC Java API in the past. This could be gone already.

Use any other version in the builds.
