Hi Menashe

The IPT version 2.3.4 requires Java 8.

The response to Hólmgrímur was related to his comment about servers colocating Geonetworks and the IPT, where he reports that Geonetwork v3.0.5 is not supported on J8. It would be good to understand if that is  verified, or assumed.  Geonework v3.2 and beyond required J8 as well.

Thanks,
Tim

Actually, the release notes clearly state that Java 7 isn't supported:
Warning 3: IPT 2.3.4 requires Java 8 to run. Since Java 7 reached its end of life in April 2015, the GBIF development team is now in the process of upgrading all its projects to use Java 8 instead. With Java 7, the IPT will be unable to communicate with the GBIF registry.

Hi Hólmgrímur

What do you mean by "Geonetwork 3.0.5 … NOT supporting java8!” please?   3.0.5 could well have been written and compiled to target the J8 environment, but have you confirmed it does not work on J8?

I am sure you know this, but for the sake of this thread, Geonetwork 3.2 requires J8 [1] too.

Thanks for your help,
Tim

Thanks Pieter

Just to remind,  if you are using some other system on the server it is possible that system don't support java8.

I'm running Geonetwork 3.0.5 on the same server and it is NOT supporting java8!
