[Studio] Java requirements for Studio on OS X
What are the directory requirements for running Directory Studio on OS
X? The download page says a Java runtime environment 7 or later, but
when trying to run the download on OS X 10.11.6 with the latest Oracle
JRE version 8, it complains
"To open ApacheDirectoryStudio you need to install the legacy Java SE 6
Runtime"
I would rather not install JRE 6, does Directory Studio really require
such an old version of Java?

I concur with Lothar.
No issues I know of on Java 8 OS-X

Studio works fire with JRE 7 and 8 on OS-X. I'm using 8u91 currently without
problems.
The message you saw is actually a "bug" in Oracle's java distributions for OS-X
and I've seen with several Eclipse-based applications in the past. See
https://crunchify.com/os-x-mavericks-eclipse-java-issue/ on how to solve this
(over and over again for every JRE/JDK update you install).

Sorry for replying to myself, I’m not subscribed to the mailing list. Stefan
Seelmann had the right solution, Directory Studio wanted a JDK, not just
a JRE. It runs now after installing 8u102.

It has probably nothing to do with Java, but with OSX...
Of course, if you tell us more about the 'complaints' you get, we might
help...

Let me guess : it tries to use the default Apple JRE, which is a old
one. Apple is notorious bad at supporting Java, and with years , it
worsens more and more.
Again, I suggest you tell us about what you get when running studio with
a Java 8 JRZ.

Oh, that information is wrong, I'll update. The FAQ
https://directory.apache.org/studio/faqs.html is up-to-date. It seems
the JDK is required.
