[jira] [Commented] (CASSANDRA-17669) CentOS/RHEL installation requires JRE not available in Java 11
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-17669?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17543833#comment-17543833 ]
Erick Ramirez commented on CASSANDRA-17669:
-------------------------------------------
I've [started a discussion on the Dev ML|https://lists.apache.org/thread/x86382mk177l25jglfqv9rrzm1sd17ks]. TL;DR should we consider dropping the dependency on the RHEL spec to bring it in-line with Debian installations?

> However, JRE is no longer available in Java 11. From the [JDK 11 release notes|https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/javase/11-relnote-issues.html]:
> {quote}In this release, the JRE or Server JRE is no longer offered. Only the JDK is offered.
> {quote}
> h2. Workaround
> Override the dependency check when installing the RPM with the {{--nodeps}} option:
> {noformat}
> $ sudo rpm --nodeps -i cassandra-4.0.4-1.noarch.rpm {noformat}
