Container OS
The latest version of the 9.0-jre11-temurin image has been verified for the Certified Stack information found on this page.
Java
You need a Java Development Kit (JDK) or a Java Runtime Environment (JRE) on your system to run Magnolia and either the Tomcat application server that ships with the bundle or a Java EE 8 / Jakarta EE 8 compliant server.
JRE is an implementation of the Java Virtual Machine which executes Java programs. JDK is a bundle of software that you can use to develop Java based applications. If you plan to write your own Java code get the JDK. If you just want to run Magnolia then JRE is sufficient.
Magnolia releases run on the active Java version at the time of the first release.
| Java version | Magnolia |
|---|---|
Java 21 (LTS) |
Magnolia 6.2.45+ Magnolia runs on Java 21 JVMs, but requires classes to be compiled at most with JDK 17, due to the version of the ASM library shipped with the product. |

The JavaScript Models module 1.2 will not work with Java 16 as it relies on the Nashorn JavaScript engine, which was deprecated in JDK 11 and removed in JDK 15. For usage with JDK 11 and higher, please use Javascript Models 2.x, which uses GraalVM. |
Oracle JDK and OpenJDK are interchangeable alternatives. Use whichever one you feel more comfortable with. However, please be aware that as of January 2019, Oracle stopped contributing to the OpenJDK 8 Updates project.
