Oxygen XML Developer requires Java. Oxygen XML Developer only supports official and stable Java Virtual Machines with the version number 1.6.0 or later (the recommended version is 1.6.0) from Oracle available at http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html. Oxygen XML Developer may work with JVM implementations from other vendors, but there is no guarantee that other implementations will work with future Oxygen XML Developer updates and releases. Oxygen XML Developer does not work with the GNU libgcj Java Virtual Machine.

Oxygen XML Developer uses the following rules to determine which installed version of Java to use:

1. If you used the Linux installer, which installs a version of Java as part of the Oxygen XML Developer installation, the version in the jre subdirectory of the installation directory is used.
2. Otherwise, if the Linux environment variable JAVA_HOME is set, Oxygen XML Developer uses the Java version pointed to by this variable.
3. Otherwise the version of Java pointed to by your PATH environment variable is used.

You can also change the version of the Java Virtual Machine that runs Oxygen XML Developer by editing the script file, oxygenDeveloper.sh. Go to the Java command at the end of the script file and specify the full path to the Java executable of the desired JVM version. For example:

/usr/bin/jre1.6.0_45/bin/java -Xmx256m ...
