BaseX 10.0 and Java 11 requirement

Hi Yitzhak,

Thanks for your feedback.

Can you tell if there are any differences between the two machines?

I’ve just installed the same version of the Oracle JDK binary as you did, and "java -version" gives me a slightly different output:

java version "18.0.2" 2022-07-19 Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 18.0.2+9-61) Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 18.0.2+9-61, mixed mode, sharing)

For some reason, the quotes seem to be missing in your version. Maybe we can convince our installer (which indeed relies on the java -version output) to ignore quotes?

Until then, I assume the Adoptium distributions should do the job [1]?

Best, Christian

Hello,

Congrats on the BaseX 10.0 release.

I tried to install BaseX 10.0 on my two computers.

First computer (Windows 10 OS) - I installed Java JDK jdk-18_windows-x64_bin.exe - Installation of the BaseX 10.0 went without any problem. BaseX GUI is working without any problems.

Second computer (Windows 10 OS) is giving me a grief. - I installed the same Java JDK jdk-18_windows-x64_bin.exe - Installation of the BaseX 10.0 is producing the following error message: " Please install Java 11 or higher before executing the installer."

My troubleshooting steps: (1) At the command prompt, c:\>java --version, shows the following java 18.0.2 2022-07-19 Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 18.0.2+9-61) Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 18.0.2+9-61, mixed mode, sharing)

(2) I added to the System Environment Variable Path, the following: c:\Program Files\Java\jdk-18.0.2\bin\

So far, no progress. The same " Please install Java 11 or higher before executing the installer." error message.

Pleas advise.

Regards, Yitzhak Khabinsky
