Exilent currently supports only Java 8 JRE/JDK.
- JRE (Java Runtime Environment): enough to run Java applications
- JDK (Java Development Kit): has some extra tools for Java development
There can be several Java versions installed on a computer at the same time. When you double click a JAR file it will be executed on the Java version which is set as default.
In order to run Exilent you have to make sure you have Java 8 set as default.
Verify your default Java version
Open up a terminal where you can type commands (Windows: Start - Command Prompt, Mac: Finder - Terminal).
Type: java -version
The default Java version will be printed out (Java 8 181).
Set default Java version
On Windows installing any Java (JRE of JDK) should be set as default.
On Mac installing a JRE wont be set as default so you will have to install JDK.
