Are you running Magnolia on an OS that is not listed here? Let us know by leaving a comment at the bottom of the page or post to the forum and mailing lists.

Java

Magnolia releases run on the active Java version at the time of the first release.

	Java SE 8	Java SE 7	Java SE 6	Java SE 5
Magnolia 5.56

Java and JDK here refers to Oracle Java releases. Please see also Oracle's page Oracle Java SE Support Roadmap.

While OpenJDK/IcedTea in general works, it is known to fail to produce correct results in certain corner cases.

On Mac OS X we recommend that you use Java SE 8 update 20+. Earlier Java SE versions have an issue that manifests during activation and can bring the Java virtual machine down with a segmentation fault. This issue occurs in environments where certain versions of OS X, Java and Tomcat application server are present. See Problematic environments. 

Application servers

• Tomcat. Please check Apache's Apache Tomcat - Which Version Do I Want? page to find out about compatibility between Tomcat and Java versions.
• Wildfly 10 and later
• JBoss EAP 7.0 and later
• IBM WebSphere Application Server 9 and later
• Oracle WebLogic Server version 10.3 and later

...
