So far the SAP HANA Cloud Connector is supported for Java 6 and 7 (Details are available in the
Prerequisites section in the help site). As Java 6 has been in use for many years now and having to support it prevents the use of Java 7 features within the Cloud Connector, it has been decided to
drop the support of
Java 6 by the end of 2015 (which is in about 6 months from now).
On
December 31, 2015, the support for
Java 6 will end. Any SAP HANA Cloud Connector version released after that date might already contain Java byte code requiring at least a JVM 7.
We therefore strongly recommend that
fresh installations are performed
only with
Java 7, and
existing installations running with Java 6 are
updated to Java 7 already now!
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation!
