What versions of JVM does ColdFusion support?

[HatTrick2]

I know we can change which version of JVM we use, as described in this link:

http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/547/2d547983.html

Is there a place where Adobe lists what versions of Java they support ColdFusion to run with?

I have v.8.0.1, and I know 8 ships with 1.6.0_01-b06.

Our security group is pushing upgrades to newer versions of Java, and I need a place to check on a regular basis the versions that Adobe will support.

The link above does say "System Requirements for information on currently supported JVM versions", but it goes to a CF 9 sys requirements page.

Thanks

Adobe support is pretty open to newer sub-versions of java.  So if you install 1.6.0_18 and you call them with a problem, and they've not been able to run that version to the lab it may delay them getting a patch or getting you help, or they may just ask you to reproduce the error with a version of java they've tested.

If you're on CF8 or CF9 there's no reason not to use 1.6.0_17 or 18.  Complete your regression tests before pushing that version out to prod though!

I've never had problems with CF running on more recent JVMs than the given version was released with.

I have had problems with WSCONFIG running with a more recently JVM than it was expecting, but that was easy enough to work around, and I didn't think it was worth worrying about.

Obviously, yes, test everything before releasing to production.
