    Recommended browser

    Note
    titleRecommended Browser

    Chrome is the best-recommended browser to use since the Zephyr framework utilizes modern web technology which can be best rendered by using the Chrome browser. Other modern browsers, such as Firefox, can work too.

    Chrome is Zephyr's recommended browser of choice because using another browser may lead to certain UI objects not being optimally rendered on the screen within the Zephyr application. For instance, users may experience extra scroll bars, buttons not working, text not being selectable, etcand so on.

    Note on Oracle JDK license update

    Note
    titleOracle JDK License Update

    Oracle has recently changed the licensing terms for Java Standard Edition 8 17.0.10 (required by Zephyr). Here's a summary of the impact and what Zephyr is doing about this:

    • Java SE 8 remains free - so customers can use it without incurring a license charge.
    • However, in the future, any bug fixes and security updates when using Java SE 8 for commercial use will require a license/support contract to receive those updates.
      • To avoid any potential vulnerability

    • Oracle JDK 17.0.10 is not free for commercial use. It is subject to Oracle’s Binary Code License Agreement (BCLA). If you plan to use it in a production environment, you’ll need to obtain a commercial license from Oracle or consider using OpenJDK, which is an open-source alternative to Oracle JDK.

    • Remember to keep your JDK up to date for security and performance improvements! For further details, refer to the official release notes.

    • We recommend using OpenJDK instead to avoid any potential vulnerability in the future and to avoid any additional costs to our customers

      • , we recommend using OpenJDK instead

    • .

    OpenJDK (the recommended Java version) can be downloaded from https://jdkwww.javaoracle.netcom/java-se-ri/8-MR3/technologies/javase/jdk17-archive-downloads.html

    Oracle Java SE 8 17.0.10 can be downloaded from from https://www.oracle.com/technetworkin/pt/java/javasetechnologies/downloads/jdk8-downloads-2133151.html#java17

    Note: Java embedded with Linux OS distribution will not work with Zephyr.
