Run multiple versions of Java

Hi,
We run Oracle 12.1.3, Business Objects, Agile and a few bank applications that all require different versions of Java.
What is the best way to run multiple versions of Java on one laptop so our users can access all of the Java based applications?
Business Objects requires Java 6, and the bank application require Java 8.
Thank you.

Given that that's been possible for over a decade, there's no need for such "tools". All you need is knowledge of your operating system.

  • Will Java 8 include a Tool that will allow multiple versions of Java to run together?

    We continue to struggle with an absolute need to run multiple versions of JAVA at the same time on the same PC.
    Will JAVA 8 include a Tool, add--on, extension, something, that will allow this requirement to be executed?

  • Multiple version of Java on one machine

    Is it possible to have multiple versions of Java co-exist on the same XP Pro machine?
    Here is our scenario: we have apps that use Java 1.5, but we have one critical app that doesn't support that version yet. It has to use the 1.4 version. Is there a way to allow both versions to exist and be usable for their respective apps? If so, how?
    Thank you.

    I can't, however it's never a good idea to have
    multiple versions of Java on one machine. Try and
    standardise if possible. If OP used JAVA_HOME as you
    often suggest, then he would be knackered wouldn't
    he? JAVA_HOME can only point to one JDK. Your
    advice is conflicting kaj.Nope. JAVA_HOME should always be defined in the start script/file for a java application, so it's not set per system. It's very common that companies have applications that requires different JDK/JRE versions, and it's usually very expensive to upgrade all applications (if it's possible at all). You can of course also alter the PATH variable if you want to in the script.

  • Problems with Multiple versions of java on one computer

    Hi, i current installed 1.3.1_08 on my xp machine and then 1.4.2. I want my "java" command to be using the 1.4.2 version. I try to run some 1.4 native java applets on my xp machine but they fail to run due to the java command being from version 1.3.1_08. I changed both the path and java_home variables in xp to my 1.4.2 installation, but still nothing changes. help plz??

  • Running two versions of java, is it possible?

    Hi everyone, I've got two applications, both incorporate applets, but one uses 1.3 and the other uses 1.4. Im stuck as I need to run these two programs at the same time. The reason I cant just use 1.3 is because one uses JTree's which were introduced in 1.4 (am I correct?) . SO if thats the case, is there anyway to use two versions of java on the same machine.????????????
    Thank you
    Graham

    I've got two applications, both incorporate appletsYou have two applets.
    one uses 1.3 and the other uses 1.4. One requires at least 1.4 (you think)
    I need to run these two programs at the same time.
    The reason I cant just use 1.3 is because one uses JTree's which were introduced in 1.4 (am I correct?) .The 1.3 API Spec includes JTree
    So if thats the case, is there anyway to use two versions of java on the same machine?Why can't you just use 1.4

  • Multiple versions og Java Web start conflicts

    I have a situation where the same Windows 2000 station will run 2 Java-web-started applications from different Java version (one being 1.3_x with an early 1.0.1_02 version of Java Web Start and the second the most recent 1.4 packages).
    It seems that the installation of the any Java Web Start would overwrite the previous installation, the result is that only one application can work at a time.
    Though, I have one developement machine where both applications can run simultenously, yet I do not know how that was achieved (maybe just fluke).
    I tried to point the Java Web start to different path without success.
    Any idea ?

    Yep...JNLP is a file you configure a WebStart app in and one of the fields (j2se version) you specify what JRE(s) are acceptable. So, one can use 1.3 and another can use 1.4.
    See http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/guide/jws/developersguide/syntax.html if you want to see details on the JNLP syntax.

  • Running multiple versions of iTunes on the same PC?

    I like to always have the latest version of iTunes on my machine, but I also need to keep an older version (7.5 or lower) on my machine for compatibility reasons (please don't ask why - I just do). Is it possible to install multiple versions of iTunes on the same PC (using XP and/or Vista)? If this is not possible by simply installing in different folders, I'm guessing that I can use this "virtualization" that I've been hearing about. I've used Parallels on a Macbook before, but what can I use to create a virtual machine on a PC? Is there a free program that does this?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Virtual PC can do it, but it's not free. I think VMware as well, but likely not free. Actually, it seems you can evaluate VMware:

  • Uninstalling multiple version of Java across a LAN

    We have people using all kinds of diferent version of Java from 1.4.1.x to 1.5.x.x but we need every one to be on 1.4.2.06 for a training application. I have been tasked with getting every one on the same version.
    I wanted to uninstall any and all version on the system and then install the correct version. But I dont see how to do that.
    I would be happy if I could just install the correct version and have it override the older or newer version.
    Any one have a clue how this could be done?
    All I really need is a command line I could use ...

    Depending on exactly what you are doing, just installing the 1.4.2_06 JRE (not SDK) may be the solution.
    Try it and see.

  • Can you run multiple versions of Message  on one computer, i.e. one for each phone line on our account?

    Does anyone know if you can run more than one Message+ on one computer, one for each of our phones?

        CATTULLOS
    Great question! The way to do it is, you will need to open up multiple browsers. (one for each phone number) The only thing you would need to do is log into www.vzw.com for each individual number to be able to send the text messages. Keep us posted let us know if this helps.

  • Is it possible to run multiple versions of Safari?

    With the latest versions of Datatel UIWeb (Datatel is a vertical market publisher of higher education data management tools and they barely even acknowledge the existence of Apple) it's hit or miss whether it will run inside Safari4, doesn't matter the dot extension. Datatel will only support Safari 3.
    Is it possible to also install the most recent version of Safari 3 alongside Safari 4 so that my users can have one browser that will work with Datatel and a current Safari for everything else? And where can I find instructions on how to do this (and also a copy of Safari 3)?
    Thanks,
    Rob

    I thought setting the user agent just made the browser masquerade as a different version? I don't think that's the problem.

  • Multiple versions of Java simulaniously?

    Hi,
    We have a situation where the new library system we use will need Java 6 Update 3 specifically. We also use a web-based application that can't use 6 V.3 but something lower like 5. My question is, would having both versions on a PC be ok?
    Thanks,

    If your environment is Windows things are much easier. Every time you install the latest java runtime environment: it is set (by default) as the system's default runtime environment(So there is no problem with the previous versions). Regarding to the Java Development Kit(JDK): i thing your self as non a java developer, so i presume that you don't have any installed to your system.
    So in my opinion there will be no problem if you erase the older java runtime environments.

  • Multiple versions of java

    i have jdk1.4 installed on my system with global variables defined for it.now i am planning to install netbeans 5.5 with jdk6 integrated on my system without removing the previous installation...how to achieve this?....any suggestions..

    Hi Rajym,
    Is that Environment Variables (i.e JAVA_HOME) you refered as global variables?
    Netbeans usualy reads its default values from the following file:
    <YOUR_NETBEANS_HOME>\etc\netbeans.conf
    This file contais all default configuration values used by netbeans at the time of boostraping. Ta variable called 'netbeans_jdkhome' in this file that you can define the jdk directory you want to work with netbeans.
    Perhaps this may give you some hint to solve your problem.
    Cheers!

  • Can not run multiple firefox windows with version 4

    After the upgrade to FF4 the problem started happening. In ver 3 I used the profile manager and was able to run 2 firefox windows at the same time with no problems in Windows 7.
    Now when I try to do this with version 4, one firefox window errors out with 'firefox stopped working'
    I thought it was due to an incompatible add on or something, so I did a complete program removal, rebooted, cleaned the registry and removed all folders that firefox put on my system. The problem continues.

    You can only run multiple version at the same time if the next version is started with the -no-remote switch added to the command line in the desktop shortcut.
    "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox XX\firefox.exe" -no-remote -P

  • Ok to use different versions of java?

    Hello,
    I installed jdk1.4.2_05 a while ago. I have since downloaded a jar file that requires java 5. Would it be ok to download and install this latest version and still have 1.4.02_05 running also?i,e, is it ok to have run different versions of java on the one machine. Would there be any conflicts etc?

    It's quite common to have multiple versions of Java on the same machine. Obviously you shouldn't install them in the same folder structure though.
    /j2sdk1.4.2_03 - contains version 1.4.2_03
    /j2sdkblah.blah - contains version blah.blah

  • Installing Multiple Versions of JDK on same XP Pro Machine

    I have a situation where I have 2 vendors who have software that needs to run under 2 different versions of Java. One of them requires 1.3.1_05 and the other 1.4.x. Is this possible? I have tried to run the software that requires 1.3.1_05 under 1.4 and failed. After talking with the vendor, they said ONLY 1.3.1_05... However, the other piece of software absolutely requires 1.4. It works only under that version and I tried testing it with lower versions and sure enough.
    Why won't the software that requires 1.3.1_05 run under 1.4? This does not add up! Need help fast, this is commodity trading software.

    I am having a similar issue on W2K SP4 boxes.
    Qwest's provisioning system runs through Netscape 4.79 and requires Java 1.3.0
    SBC's provisiong system runs through IE 6 and requires Java 1.4
    As soon as I install Java 1.4, Netscape fails to recognize that 1.3 is installed. Reinstalling 1.3 doesn't help.
    I need both of these systems to run on the same machine and am guessing there is a registry setting I can adjust.
    I've read where some people have used a batch script or VB to change some parameters to allow multiple versions of Java to run on the same machine. Even if a user had to click a batch file before opening Netscape to switch the version setting in the registry that would suit my needs.
    Any help would be most appreciated!!!
    Thanks
