Supported Java Virtual Machines
Hazelcast runs on Java, so it needs a Java Virtual Machine (JVM). Hazelcast supports the latest and long-term support (LTS) versions of the Java Development Kit (JDK). However, the JVM in some JDKs may not be compatible with Hazelcast.
Hazelcast Platform 5.2-SNAPSHOT has been tested against the following JDKs.
| If you install Hazelcast with Docker or a package manager, it comes with a supported JDK. |
