Java JDK or JRE Installation of the Java JDK or JRE, version 1.7.0_51 or above, on a machine running ActiveSpaces enhances the functionality of ActiveSpaces as follows:
  • The JDK allows use of the Java API and Administration Command Line Interface (Admin CLI).
  • The JRE alone will allow use of the Java Admin CLI (deprecated) and TIBCO Administrator, but not the Java API.

    The JDK or JRE is not required on machines where the Java API or Java Admin CLI will not be used.
