I am a new bee :) so please bare with me. I am trying to run wine and it throws this message : This application requires Java Runtime Environment 1.6.0.
java -version shows the below.
root@Silent:~# java -version
java version “1.7.0_45”
Java™ SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_45-b18)
Java HotSpot™ Server VM (build 24.45-b08, mixed mode)
JREs are not all backwards compatible, unfortunately. So just install JRE1.6.0 and you’ll be ok.
I found the same problem while programming something in Eclipse (Java IDE), on 2 different computers. One had 1.7 as default, the other 1.6…twisted my mind around it for half a day until finally deciding to import both JREs in Eclipse.
