The following restrictions apply:
- Java 6 -
Visual COBOL does not support Java 6
- Java 7 -
Visual COBOL offers full support for Java 7
- Java 8 - You may receive non-critical warnings about the maxPermSize (a parameter that controls the size of memory for class execution) when you launch
Visual COBOL. This message is only informative and does not indicate a problem - Java 8 no longer uses maxPermSize and relies on a different mechanism to calculate the memory for class execution. If you want to stop receiving the warnings, delete the
-XX:MaxPermSize=256M line from the
eclipse.ini file in
%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Micro Focus\Visual COBOL\installer.
