Oxygen XML Editor only supports official and stable Java Virtual Machines with version 1.8 from Oracle. If you use the native Windows installer, Oxygen XML Editor will be installed with its own copy of Java with the specific update version that has been thoroughly tested.
All Platforms Package

If you use the all platforms package, your system must have a compatible Java 1.8 virtual machine installed. To see the exact Java update version that is supported, go to www.oxygenxml.com, navigate to the Download page for the particular product you are installing, and click on the tab for your particular platform.

Note: Oxygen XML Editor may work with other update versions of Java, but since Oxygen XML Editor has only been thoroughly tested with specific versions, there is no guarantee that it will be stable with any other Java version.

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

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

If you run Oxygen XML Editor using the batch file, oxygen.bat, you can edit the batch file to specify a particular version to use.
