What version of Java should I use for Aspire?

Before version 2.2, Aspire was developed using Java 6 and requires the Java Development Kit (JDK) (rather than just runtime libraries) to be installed. You should use the latest available release suitable for your platform from here.

Beginning with release 2.2, Aspire is developed using Java 7 and requires the Java 7 JDK to run.

And Aspire 4.0 was developed using Java 7 but now uses Java 11


Why is the list of available applications to install empty?

Check your repository configuration in settings.xml. This usually means that there are problems accessing the configured repositories, most commonly invalid credentials. (You can confirm by looking at the standard output of Aspire; you should be able to see errors fetching components from the configured repository.)

If you have configured your distribution for no Internet Access, you should rename the file config/available-applications-template.xml to config/available-applications.xml. This file will be used to populate the list of available applications to install.


Can Aspire run in Mac?

Yes. We updated the script file used to support Macs.

Go to Launch Control for more details.


Can Aspire run on IBM AIX machines?

AIX uses IBM JDK implementation. Currently there are known compatibility issues between Aspire and IBM JDK implementation.

You should still be able to run Aspire, but be wary of unforeseen issues.
