Dear Wiki user,

The "SolrJavaVersions" page has been changed by ErickErickson:

  {{{#!wiki important
- This Wiki page reproduces the information in the [[http://lucene.apache.org/solr/guide/|Solr 8.0 Reference Guide]] which is in the process of being released (5-Apr, 2019). Once the reference guide is released, this page will be deprecated. You should check the above link for the most recent information.
+ This Wiki page is deprecated, the most current information is in the Solr reference guide, Solr 8.1 and later in the "Solr System Requirements" section, see: [[http://lucene.apache.org/solr/guide/|Solr Reference Guide]]. Known issues when running various combinations of Solr and Java are outlined, starting with Solr 7x and Java 8.
  }}}
  
- You can install Solr in any system where a suitable Java Runtime Environment (JRE) is available.
- 
- == Installation Requirements ==
- 
- === Supported Operating Systems ===
- 
- Solr is tested on several versions of Linux, macOS and Windows.
- 
- === Java Requirements ===
- 
- You will need the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) version 1.8 or higher. At a command line, check your Java version like this:
- 
- 
- {{{
- $ java -version
- java version "1.8.0_60"
- Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_60-b27)
- Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.60-b23, mixed mode)
- }}}
- 
- 
- The exact output will vary, but you need to make sure you meet the minimum version requirement. We also recommend choosing a version that is not end-of-life from its vendor. Oracle/OpenJDK are the most tested JREs and are preferred. It's also preferred to use the latest available official release.
- 
- Some versions of Java VM have bugs that may impact your implementation. To be sure, check the page [[https://wiki.apache.org/lucene-java/JavaBugs|Lucene Java Bugs]].
- 
- === Sources for Java ===
- Java is available from a number of providers. Lucene and Solr regularly test with [[https://jdk.java.net/|OpenJDK]]/Oracle versions of Java. Some are free, others have a cost, some provide security patches and support, others do not. We recommend you read the article [[https://medium.com/@javachampions/java-is-still-free-2-0-0-6b9aa8d6d244|Java is still free by Java Champions]] to help you decide.
- 
- The Lucene project does not endorse any particular provider of Java.
- 
- {{{#!wiki note 
- While we reference the Java Development (JDK) on this page, any Java Runtime Environment (JRE) associated with the referenced JDKs is acceptable.
- }}}
- 
- == Java and Lucene/Solr combinations ==
- Each Lucene/Solr release has an extensively tested minimum Java version. For instance the minimum Java version for Solr 8 is Java 8. This section is intended to provide guidance when running Lucene/Solr with a more recent Java version than the minimum specified.
- 
- === Executive summary ===
-  * OpenJDK/Oracle distribution are tested extensively and will continue to be tested going forward.
-   * Distributions of Java from other source are not regularly tested by our testing infrastructure, therefore you must test Java from those sources in your environment.
-   * For the purposes of Lucene and Solr, Oracle's paid version and OpenJDK are are identical.
-  * Upgrading Java is not required with the understanding that no Java bugs will be addressed unless you are using a version of Java that provides LTS.
-  * Java 8 has been extensively tested both in the field and by automated tests through Solr 8. LTS for Java 8 is provided by some sources, see [[https://medium.com/@javachampions/java-is-still-free-2-0-0-6b9aa8d6d244|Java is still free]].
-  * Our testing infrastructure continuously tests with the minimum and greater versions of Java for each development branch.
-  * Java 9 and 10 have no Long Term Support (LTS). For this reason, Java 11 is preferred over 9 or 10 when upgrading Java.
-  * For specific questions the [[http://lucene.apache.org/solr/community.html#mailing-lists-irc|Solr User's List]] is a great resource.
- 
- The rest of this page summarizes the Lucene/Solr community's testing experience for Lucene/Solr releases.
- 
- === How we test Solr/Lucene ===
- Solr and Lucene run a continuous integration model, running automated unit and integration tests using several versions of Java. In addition, some organizations also maintain their own test infrastructure and feed their results back to the community.
- 
- Our continuous testing is against the two code lines under active development, Solr 8x and the future Solr 9.0:
- 
-  * Lucene/Solr 8.x is the current stable branch and will have "point releases", i.e. 8.1, 8.2... until Lucene/Solr 9.0 is released.
-   * This version is currently tested against Java 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 and (pre-release) 13
-  * There is also development and testing with the future Lucene/Solr 9.0. There is no planned release date although the cadence has been between 1 and 2 years for major releases.
-   * This version will require Java 11, so it is currently tested against Java 11, 12 and (pre-release) 13
-  * Lucene/Solr 7x and earlier are not tested on a continuous basis.
- 
- === Released Lucene/Solr and Java Versions ===
- The success rate in our automated tests is similar with all the Java versions tested with the following caveats.
- 
- ==== Lucene/Solr prior to 7.0 ====
- 
-  * Lucene/Solr 7.0 was the first version that successfully passed our tests using Java 9+. Our best guidance is to avoid Java 9 or later for Lucene/Solr 6 or earlier.
- 
- ==== Lucene/Solr 7 ====
- 
-  * Requires Java 8+
-  * This version had continuous testing with Java 9, 10, 11, 12 and the pre release version of Java 13. Regular testing stopped when Lucene/Solr 8.0 was released.
-  * Lucene/Solr 7.0 is the first release of Lucene/Solr that successfully completed our testing with Java 9+.
-  * Hadoop with Java 9+ may not work in all situations, test in your environment.
-  * Kerberos with Java 9+ may not work in all situations, test in your environment.
-  * Be sure to test with SSL/TLS and/or authorization enabled in your environment if you require either when using Java 9+.
- 
- 
- ==== Lucene/Solr 8 ====
- 
-  * Requires Java 8+
-  * This version has continuous testing with Java 9, 10, 11, 12 and the pre release version of Java 13.
-  * There were known issues with Kerberos with Java 9+ that will be addressed in Lucene/Solr 8.1, test in your environment.
-  * Be sure to test with SSL/TLS and/or authorization enabled in your environment if you require either when using Java 9+.
