User Software: Java Update

April 14, 2015


Gemini will move to Java 8 with the next releases of user software, including the Observing Tool in June (for semester 2015B) and the Phase I Tool in September (for 2016A proposals). Java 8 is supported under the following platforms:

  • Linux (32- and 64-bit);
  • Mac OS X 10.8.3+ (Mountain Lion, Mavericks, and Yosemite);
  • Windows Vista, 7, 8, and Server 2008/2012.

Unsupported systems (including Mac OS older than 10.8 or Windows XP) will not be able to run these new Gemini Java applications. See the software blog at http://staff.gemini.edu/scisoft/2015/03/23/java-8 for more information.
