Aspire requires Java 1.6 and a machine with an internet connection. We also strongly recommend installing the Maven command-line client for additional, very useful functionality (see below).
Install Java JDK 1.6 or 1.7
The version of Java you should use depends on the Aspire version you are targeting:
- Aspire 2.1.2 and earlier runs on Java 1.6 or Java 1.7
- Aspire 2.2 and later requires Java 1.7
Note: We recommend installing the Java JDK (Java Development Kit), just in case you want to create your own Aspire components/applications in the future. However, only the JRE (Java Runtime Environment) is absolutely required.
1. Download and install the latest version of the Java 1.6 or 1.7 JDK as appropriate: http://java.com/en/download/manual.jsp
- If you have a 64 bit machine, we recommend installing the 64-bit version of Java. Thiswill allow you to create large-memory instances of Aspire.
- The Aspire framework does not use much memory (100mb or so). However, some applications may store large hash tables to improve performance, so it's best to have the 64-bit JVM (Java Virtual Machine), just in case you need it someday.
