Problem:
The TIBCO Jaspersoft® Studio installed on MacOS machine uses a very old version of Java.
Solution:
While normally TIBCO Jaspersoft Studio comes with an already packaged version of Java, MacOS classpath variables might interfere with the configuration and force TIBCO Jaspersoft Studio to use a really old version of Java like 1.5 or 1.6 depending on the OS version. You normally would get a prompt during the installation asking to allow to use an older version.
If you do get that here is what you can do:
- Install the latest JDK 1.7 from DMG downloaded from Oracle (i.e. 1.7.0_67)
- Locate your TIBCO Jaspersoft Studio applications, usually something like /Applications/TIBCO Jaspersoft Studio 6.0.1.final and right click on the Jaspersoft Studio application. Choose “Show Package Contents”. Locate the .ini file inside the subfolder path Contents/MacOS. Edit the Jaspersoft Studio.ini file and remove the lines -vm and below if present. It is needed because it appears that the presence of the -vm flag fires the warning dialog asking for Java SE 6 installation.
- Launch TIBCO Jaspersoft Studio as usual.
