Is install4j jdk 8 compatible?

Question

I'd like to know if install4j is jdk 8 compatible or tested against or will be :)

Just found 1.7 Version to be tested on there site.

And if not what is the roadmap for next release supporting that? Thx Inge

Answer 1

Install4j installers work with Java 8. The install4j currently (as of 5.1.6) requires Java 6 or Java 7.

Answer 2

From their blog Migrating to install4j 6:

The minimum Java version for the install4j IDE and the compiler is now Java 7. If your build machine only has Java 6 installed, you have to install a Java 7 JRE. On Windows and Mac OS X, Java 7 JREs are bundled in the install4j downloads.

Therefore, I suppose install4j IDE version 6 supports also Java 8, because they did not specify maximal Java version.
