Migrating to CMF 5.3
Apama is now built with JDK 7. You can no longer use JDK 6 (or older) to develop Apama CMF applications nor can you use JRE 6 (or older) to deploy Apama CMF applications. While it should not be necessary to rebuild applications previously built with an older Java version, the recommendation is that you build your application with the newer JDK for two important reasons:
To ensure that you detect compatibility problems before you want to deploy the application
To take advantage of performance improvements in newer Java compiler versions
To develop, build, and test an Apama CMF 5.3 application, the recommendation is that you use Oracle JDK 8. The minimum you can use to build your application with Apama CMF 5.3 libraries is JDK 7.
To deploy an Apama CMF 5.3 application, the recommendation is that you use Oracle JRE 8, which is the version that Apama provides. Use of any JRE other than the one that Apama ships with is discouraged.
