This is a brief article explaining Flux's functionality with Java 1.6.

Flux 7.4.1 and higher completely supports Java 1.6, this includes the Desktop Designer, Engine, and Operations Console.

If you are running a version of Flux older than 7.4.1, you will need to use Java 1.5 or 1.4 to run the Desktop Designer. The Engine and Operations console will both run against Java 1.6.

If you are using Java 1.6 with an older version of Flux and would like to use the Desktop Designer, the best solution is to uninstall Java 1.6. If you have uninstalled Java 1.6 and installed Java 1.5 or 1.4 and are still experiencing problems with the Desktop Designer displaying correctly, you may want to check you class paths.

In a Windows environment:

echo %JAVA_HOME%
echo %PATH%

In a Linux environment:

echo $JAVA_HOME
echo $PATH

If either the JAVA_HOME or PATH have the Java 1.6 directory in them you need to remove it and replace it with the path for either Java 1.5 or 1.4.
