WebSphere Application Server JVM version shows as 1.6 for server configured with JRE 1.7 runtime in Rational Application Developer

Troubleshooting


Problem

Attempts to add a server with JVM 7 runtime using IBM Rational Application Developer for WebSphere Software (RAD) results in the server JVM still showing as "1.6_32" or "1.6_64" when it should show "1.7_xx".

Symptom

A symptom of this problem is getting an error similar to the following when trying to publish an application configured to use Java 7.

### ERROR ###

WebSphere Application Server error:
The MACS project is built with Java SDK 7, which is not compatible with the server running at Java SDK 6. Try publishing the application on a later version of WebSphere Application Server. Or try increasing the JRE of the server, if you are using WebSphere Application Server v8.5.

### END ERROR ###

Steps to reproduce:

Note: This assumes you have the IBM WebSphere SDK Java Technology Edition 7 installed for your WebSphere Application Server installation.

  1. Right click on your server > Add and Remove
    The "Add and Remove" window opens.
  2. Select your project from the "Available" list > Add > Finish

    The error message or a similar message relating to not having the correct JVM for your server appears on the screen
