I need to evaluate test of Java 1.6 but the EA says you need Java 8. Is there an older version of the EA I can try...
and a related question is how do people who need to evaluate multiple Java platforms use your tool or even flip between different JVM's for 6 7 8
thanks... just trying to get started with the EA and learning here. Any suggestions appreciated

You must have misinterpreted the message.I need to evaluate test of Java 1.6 but the EA says you need Java 8. Is there an older version of the EA I can try...
Java 8 is required to run the profiler UI itself, but you still can profile Java applications running on Java 6 and newer.
Please see above.and a related question is how do people who need to evaluate multiple Java platforms use your tool or even flip between different JVM's for 6 7 8
What is your platform by the way? Please note that Windows and Linux bundles already have appropriate JRE on board, so will run out of the box. On other platforms you simply need to install Java 8 in parallel to existing JVMs.

Re: Testing Java 6 7 8
OK, so just the UI requires Java 8
Mac OS x Yosemite on laptop, Linus on server
I can also switch to Windows on it... but that's less ideal since the target product is linux
I would like to test things on my laptop on Max OS x and also on Linux running on Linux boxes remotedly
thanks

Re: Testing Java 6 7 8
If you plan to run the profiler UI you need to install Java 8 (recommended) or Java 7 (not recommended) in parallel to, I suppose, the existing Apple Java 6.Mac OS x Yosemite on laptop,
If you don't need the profiler UI, there is nothing to care about. Otherwise simply use the Linux bundle with the JRE included.Linus on server
As I wrote, the Windows installer contains the JRE to run the profiler so no extra steps are needed.I can also switch to Windows on it

Re: Testing Java 6 7 8
OK...
so the UI is an issue but I am mostly concerned with non UI, linux application so it doesn't sound mostly like an issue
What't the best things to look at to get oriented in using YourKit for a non UI on a remote linux box
(used from Mac OS X )

Re: Testing Java 6 7 8
and sorry to belabor the issue....
If I use the Windows version can I remotely profile Java on the server

Hi Michael
Remote profiling is the best approach.
First, please enable profiling on the remote Linux machine:
https://www.yourkit.com/docs/java/help/ ... remote.jsp
When the application or the EE server you want to profile is up and running, run the profiler locally and connect to the remote application:

Best regards,
Anton
