Required JRE versions outdated?

In the process of trying to install Scalix 11.3, I ran into an issue with the jre version. I am running a current version jre1.6.0_05, but it appears that Scalix will only support the older jre versions in the 1.5 area. Are there any planned updates to this or workarounds? I'd hate to have to hack it all together by running two different version of jre.

Scalix will drop it' own java version into the Scalix directory path. You don't need to worry about managing multiple versions or seeing conflicts, but yes, it does require the version that it specifies.

Just a comment here. Scalix doesn't appear to "drop" its own version in during an install. It reports a Critical Error and exits the install process if it finds jre-1.6.0 instead of jre-1.5.0. Or this is what I just experienced.

Unless there is some neat trick to get around this??? I forsee an uninstall of jre-1.6.0 and install jre-1.5.0

Scalix uses JRE 1.5.0_16 with 11.4.3. You will get this problem if you have a newer version already installed, because RPM will not overwrite it. I normally install the JRE package manually and force an installation in a case like this. This may be something the installer can handle a bit better, though.
