Supported free JREs for the Eclipse-based TASKING products to replace Oracle JRE

Note that you need to install a Java Virtual Machine (JVM) to use Eclipse. A 64-bit version of Eclipse requires a 64-bit JVM, and a 32-bit version requires a 32-bit JVM. You can install either a Java Runtime Environment (JRE) or a Java Development Kit (JDK). TASKING product releases up to 2020 provided the free Oracle JRE with the products, and Oracle JRE 1.8  up to update 202 (before the April 2019 update) remains free. For newer versions, Oracle may charge a license fee. 

Instead of installing the Oracle JRE, you can also use the free Eclipse Temurin 8 JRE (LTS) or the free Amazon Corretto JRE8. 

After installing either Eclipse Temurin JRE or Corretto JRE, ensure that it is set as your default JVM. Otherwise, you need to update the file eclipse.ini in the eclipse directory of the product to point to the correct JVM. See here for more information.

Note that you can use the free Eclipse Temurin or Amazon Corretto JRE with our products that use the Eclipse platform v4.5.1 (Mars 1) or older, and that include:

• TASKING VX-toolset for TriCore versions v4.0r1 to v6.3r1
• TASKING VX-toolset for GTM v3.1r1 to v3.2r1
• TASKING Embedded Debugger v1.0r3 and higher
• TASKING VX-toolset for ARM Cortex v4.4 to v5.2r1
• TASKING VX-toolset for C166 v3.0r3 to v4.0r1
