Prerequisites for installing BIRT iHub on Windows
For optimum performance, use a system that has a minimum of 8GB RAM.
About the supported Java SE Development Kit (JDK)
BIRT iHub requires a 64-bit version of the JAVA SE Development Kit (JDK) version 1.6 or higher. The BIRT iHub installation process installs the 64-bit JDK version 1.7 if it does not detect a suitable JDK already installed in the environment. The installer checks for a Java installation using the JAVA_HOME environment variable and the registry. If both Java 1.7 and Java 1.6 are available, BIRT iHub uses Java 1.7.
