Notes

In table above, the "Yes (built with this version)" means that the given version of Collaborator was built using the given version of Java environment.
OpenJDK 11 is recommended, Oracle JRE/JDK 11 will work as well.
On systems with multiple JREs installed, it may be necessary to specify to the installer which JRE should be used for Collaborator. On Windows platforms, running the installer with the -manual argument will suppress the JRE search and cause the installer to prompt for the JRE location (specifically, java.exe). On *nix platforms, you can specify the JRE location by setting the INSTALL4J_JAVA_HOME_OVERRIDE environment variable to the JAVA_HOME value.
