Ummm... right. But I am using the default JRE which "points to the recommended runtime ... openjdk-7-jre...".

With the greatest of respect, this is not a satisfactory response. Packages in Linux repos are often behind the latest version (although Mint is much better than many). I could probably install Java 8 (although I would have to look up how). I am unclear, however, about what ramifications this would have for other stuff on my system. For example, I gather installing from ppa removes openjdk.

So JabRef 3.0 has introduced a dependency which many Linux users cannot meet without some fundamental changes. Hmmm... Not sure about the wisdom of that.

BTW: Posting to the list as other may be interested in this topic.

    Hi

    I have tried updating to JabRef 3.0 on Mint Rafaela 17.2 this morning.
    I get the message:

    Running java -version responds with:

    java version "1.7.0_91"
    OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea 2.6.3)
    (7u91-2.6.3-0ubuntu0.14.04.1)
    OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 24.91-b01, mixed mode)

    I guess this is some issue that has been overlooked in the new
    version?

    P.
