IBM Streams 4.2

Supported Java development kits for application development

For application development, IBM® Streams supports the IBM SDK Java™ Technology Edition Version 8 and the Java SE Development Kit 8 from Oracle.

The IBM SDK is installed in the product-installation-root-directory/4.2.0.0/java directory when you install the IBM Streams product.

Notes:
  • The supported Java development kits have been tested with Streams Studio and streams processing applications that include operators that were implemented using the IBM Streams Java Operator API.
  • If the JAVA_HOME environment variable is set, it must be set to a supported Java 8 implementation.
  • If the JAVA_HOME environment variable is set at compile time, its value is used to run the JVM for Java operators at run time. Otherwise, the Java development kit in the product-installation-root-directory/4.2.0.0/java directory is used.
