Zimbra Desktop 7.3.1 GA (Build 13063) does not work with Java 10.0.2

Post by JDKruse »

I am running Windows 10 Pro (1709) 64-bit with the latest updates applied. I have been running Zimbra Desktop 7.3.1 GA (Build 13063) 64-bit since its release. I was running Oracle's JRE 1.8.0_171 (64-bit with mixed mode) until I received notification of a new update was available. While researching and preparing to download the new Oracle JRE release updates (JRE 1.8.0_181), I saw that Oracle has indicated that support for JRE 1.8.0 will be losing support as early as January, 2019. I also noticed that the latest version of Oracle JRE available is 10.0.2 so I downloaded the 64-bit version (with mixed mode), installed it, and tried running Zimbra Desktop 7.3.1 GA 64-bit and it would not start up. It indicated I was not running a valid Java version. From a Windows Console, I did verify that the JRE 10.0.2 installation worked successfully by running a java -version command.

Are there plans to update the Zimbra Desktop software to work with Oracle's latest JRE 10.0.2 (or some variation of it)?
