Java

Introduction

Java is a general-purpose, object-oriented programming language. Interally, it uses a virtual machine, making “compiled” java programs very independent of the actual hardware executing them.

We provide both the JRE / Java Runtime Environment (java) and the JDK / Java Development Kit (javac).

Versions

We only provide the version available in EPEL 7 - java-latest-openjdk.

Update Policy

Java is updated alongside the rest of EPEL 7 reglarily.

Connection to webserver

In order to make your application accessable from the outside, you need to connect it to the webserver, using a web backend.

Please note that your application must listen on the IP 0.0.0.0. You can choose any port between 1024 and 65535.
