Installing JDK
Oracle Java Development Kit (JDK) is the only supported development kit.
For the full list of system requirements, applications, and application version levels, refer to the Unifier Tested Configurations document.
As announced in 2020, support for JavaFX on JDK 8 ended in March 2025. Starting with JDK 8 update 451, the JavaFX module, which is used by the Unifier Configurator, is no longer available as a part of the default JDK bundle distribution. Oracle continues to develop and release JavaFX as standalone modules via the OpenJFX project for the latest versions of Java only.
Notes:
- Starting with Unifier 24.12.16, JDK 17 is required, and JDK 8 is no longer supported. If you install or upgrade Unifier in an on-premises environment, you must use JDK 17.
- You must also install JavaFX. Use JavaFX 17 or JavaFX 21.
- Set the
JAVAFX_HOMEenvironment variable.
