How do you launch the detector client if you don't want to install Oracle JDK?
I am trying to run the detector client, but don't want to install Oracle JDK. I have OpenJDK installed on my machine, but I can't get the JNLP files to run.
Thanks.

We cannot launch detector client with any version of Open JDK. Oracle JRE 8 (64-bit) (update 172) is required on client server to launch Detector.
In general, use the latest Java update when possible.

Starting with FNCI 6.13.0, The Release Notes and Admin guide indicate that Zulu OpenJDK 8 (64-bit from Azul) is supported.
Does your comment above mean that Zulu OpenJDK is supported for core & scan servers only, and not for the detector client?
This is not indicated in current documentation.
thanks,
Michelle

Zulu OpenJDK is supported for core & scan servers only.
In FNCI 6.13.0 and above Admin guide(FlexNet Code Insight 6.13.0 Installation and System Administration Guide -> Prerequisites -> Software), it is mentioned that Oracle JRE 8(64 bit) is required on client server to launch Detector.
Thanks,

Thank you, Medha. My apologies -- I overlooked the Oracle JRE requirement stated in the guide.
Do you know if there are any plans to support OpenJDK in the detector client?
thanks,
Michelle

No, we won’t be able to support detector client using any other JRE as OpenJDK doesn’t support Java Web Start which is required for launching detector.
