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.
