  • Subject: [IDV #NCC-190244]: Oracle JAVA licence
  • Date: Thu, 14 Mar 2019 14:35:27 -0600
Hi Massimo,

The IDV is distributed with its own version of Java which is:

java version "1.8.0_51"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_51-b16)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.51-b03, mixed mode)

Since it is HotSpot, this is the Oracle JRE (note: NOT JDK).

Best,

Unidata IDV Support
