Java SE Installation for ORMB

Installing software into a directory that include spaces in the path name (e.g. C:\Program Files\) might cause issues for some vendor applications.

Purpose

To install the Java SE JDK 1.8 as a prerequisite for deploying ORMB 2.5.0.1.

Download Java

Download required JDK 1.8 binary ( jdk-8u112-windows-x64.exe ) here.

Install Java

It is strongly advised to choose an installation directory that does not include spaces in the path name (e.g., do NOT install in C:\Program Files\). Some software will throw exceptions that depend on the value of JAVA_HOME, which either includes a space,or defines as “C:\Progra~1\”.

Run jdk-8u112-windows-x64.exe.
Change the installation directory to a path with no spaces in it, such as D:\jdk1.8.
All other installation defaults are accepted.
When the installer gets to the stage of installing the J2SE Runtime Environment, it is fine to accept the default, e.g., C:\Program Files\Java.
Add Java’s bin directory (e.g., D:\jdk1.8\bin) to your PATH environment.
Set JAVA_HOME ( e.g., D:\jdk1.8 ).
