How to run sonarqube on NetBSD - sonarqube

According to the requirements document for sonarqube:
The only prerequisite for running SonarQube is to have Java (Oracle JRE 7 onwards or OpenJDK 7 onwards) installed on your machine.
I want now to use a NetBSD 7.0 machine to run a sonarqube server.
OpenJDK8 is installed:
openjdk version "1.8.0_77-internal"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build
1.8.0_77-internal-pkgsrc_1.8.77-b00)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.77-b00, mixed mode)
However, sonarqube is using wrapper, and that software does not support NetBSD (FreeBSD is supported, but this is not close enough to serve as a working substitute).
I already tried using linux emulation mode. But, having a NetBSD native java being started from a linux emulated wrapper is not giving a usable configuration for runtime environment (libc version clashes, et. al.).
And installing a linux native openjdk8 and get the complete setup running in emulation mode is also not to be recommended.
With sonarqube 4.x (long ago) I had used war distribution
and this worked OK. But with this new environment I hoped for being able to use newer versions of sonarqube.
Questions:
Is there a way to bypass wrapper and start sonarqube relying on java only?
Alternatively, is there a way to get a NetBSD version of wrapper?
Would I be better of dropping sonarqube alltogether,
given my target platform?

The version of Java Service Wrapper used by SonarQube does not support NetBSD. That's not as critical as for MSWindows. SonarQube can be easily started as a unix daemon without it. You just have to execute java -jar lib/sonar-application-{version}.jar from the installation directory.

Eclipse Neon does not install on my Mac Sierra

when i tried to install Eclipse Neon on my Mac Sierra, it prompted:
Version 1.6.0_65 of the JVM is not suitable for the this product.
However when I check the java version on terminal: it says:
java -version
java version "1.8.0_112"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_112-b16)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.112-b16, mixed mode)
Anyone knows what is the issue?
Actually, the Eclipse popup window says:
Version 1.6.0_65 of the JVM is not suitable for the this product.
Version: 1.8 or greater is required.
I had the same problem. I had orginally installed the JRE, and did a search for "java" across the hard disk, and it found a JavaApplet plugin. I deleted this, and then installed the latest jdk (144) dmg. Running the eclipse installer then worked. (so, it was just a java environment problem for me).

Running SonarQube on Solaris using Jsvc

The SonarQube 5.0 documentation states that in order to install SonarQube on AIX, HPUX or Solaris, one must install Java Service Wrapper, which is licensed software.
Is it possible to do this using some free/open source alternative?
There's a Jsvc library by Apache that is used to accomplish the same functionality. I wonder if anyone has successfully managed to use it.
We haven't documented it yet, but with SonarQube 5.0+, you can start SonarQube using a simple Java process.
Just open a terminal and run:
java -jar <sq_install_dir>/lib/sonar-application-5.0.jar
This should allow you to run SonarQube on Solaris without needing to install anything else.

Why can't I update Java from 1.6 to 1.7 on Coldfusion 9.0.2 on Mac OSX 10.8.5

I'm running OSX 10.8.5 and recently installed Coldfusion 9.0.2 and applied the hotfix so I'm running CF Version 9,0,2,282541 (which should be compatible with Java 1.7). My prod environment is running Java 1.7 so I'm trying to replicate that on a dev machine. The Java Version currently being used by CF is 1.6.0_65.
My dev box has Java running in multiple locations as follows:
System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk
Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.7.0_65.jdk
When I run java-version from within Terminal, I get the following:
java version "1.7.0_65"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_65-b17)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 24.65-b04, mixed mode)
However, when I start CF, it reverts to 1.6.0_65:
Java Version: 1.6.0_65
Java Vendor: Apple Inc.
Java Home: /System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk/Contents/Home
Now I know that CF doesn't use the system environment variable JAVA_HOME. It uses the jvm.config argument "java.home"
When I run 'java -version' within terminal, that is using the java version that it finds in the system path, which is different from what CF can use.
Based on this, I've attempted to update my jvm.config file so that the java.home variable is now /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.7.0_65.jdk/Contents/Home/jre but even after restarting CF, it reverts to the default of 1.6.0_65 as shown below.
One interesting thing is that if I look at the Adobe_Coldfusion9_Install_Log.log, I do see the following variables (among other things) set during the installation.
java.ext.dirs:
1.) /Library/Java/Extensions
2.) /System/Library/Java/Extensions
3.) /System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk/Contents/Home/lib/ext
java.version: 1.6.0_65 (Java 1)
java.home: /System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk/Contents/Home
The true question is how can I get CF to recognize changes to these if it's not looking at my jvm.config file??? How can I force it to use the "/Library/" path instead of the "System/Library" path?
This is very similar to the crazy4mustang's question posted below but it is unanswered. The only real differences is that he is running Mavericks and I'm on Mountain Lion.
Can't update Coldfusion to Java 1.7 on OSX 10.9
Disclaimer: I am not running OSX
I found a couple of articles referring to three files that need to be updated in order to change the Java path for ColdFusion running on OSX. There is this reference which is regarding ColdFusion 10 but I would assume similar locations for ColdFusion 9.
/Applications/ColdFusion10/cfusion/bin/jvm.config
/Applications/ColdFusion10/cfusion/bin/coldfusion
/Applications/ColdFusion10/cfusion/runtime/bin/wsconfig_jvm.config
In each of these, there was a setting to set the Java home path. It was set to the old location for Java 6. I updated these to point to Java 7.
Read this note from Adobe regarding ColdFusion 9.0.2, Java 1.7 and OSX
JDK 1.7 is only supported on Mac OS X 10.7 and above. See this article for more details. As ColdFusion 9.0.2 does not support Mac OS X 10.7, Cumulative Hot fix 1 does not certify ColdFusion 9.0.2 with JDK 1.7 on Mac OS X.

Trying to figure out why the Informix JDBC driver won't install

While trying to install Informix's JDBC driver, I get this error:
java -cp /home/ics/sandbox/jdbc/setup.jar run -console
The wizard cannot continue because of the following error:
could not load wizard specified in /wizard.inf (104)
I have pointed to a newer Java from Sun using:
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.8.0_05
export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH
java -version
java version "1.8.0_05"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_05-b13)
Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (build 25.5-b02, mixed mode)
Pointing to a newer Java and, as IBM/Informix support told me, getting away from OpenJDK should allow the installer to run, but that does not work. I also saw using Sun's or IBM's java elsewhere, when I searched for posts on the specific error. On another Centos System, OpenJDK is installed, and I can install the JDBC driver successfully
I also tried removing tty settings from my environment, which also did not work.
Here is the so post where this error is mentioned.
If anyone has heard of a solution, I'd love to hear it, 'cause without the jdbc driver, there's no Clojure database work with Informix, and, when working, it works well. And, I have thought of tarring and zipping the good install and moving it, but that's kind of cheating.
This problem occurs on
cat /etc/redhat-release
CentOS release 6.4 (Final)
The installed java version, not my workaround newer version is
java -version
java version "1.6.0_24"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea6 1.11.11.90) (rhel-1.62.1.11.11.90.el6_4-i386)
OpenJDK Server VM (build 20.0-b12, mixed mode)
Until an answer arrives that allows an install, I took #MichaƂ Niklas 's suggestion and manually installed the driver under /opt/ on the new system. This worked.
I am still going to pursue the cause of this problem. I edited the OP to reflect #ceinmart 's suggestion to remove tty settings. This did not work, but I found it a useful suggestion.

How to change JRE for PhpStorm on MacOs

It seems, with the latest MAcOs updates, that Java was also updated, which influenced PhpStorm performance very badly.
Anyway, I decided to update my Java.
Was
$ java -version
java version "1.6.0_51"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_51-b11-457-11M4509)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.51-b01-457, mixed mode)
After downloading Java SDK from Oracle and installing:
$ java -version
java version "1.7.0_25"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_25-b15)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 23.25-b01, mixed mode)
But in PhpStorm it still shows the old JRE:
I also restarted my computer, but still the old JRE is shown.
Please help, how to make PHPStorm use a new JRE?
Quoting from the "Selecting the JDK version the IDE will run under" article in the Knowledge Base
posted on March 27, 2013
Mac OS X
At the moment all our products require Apple JDK 1.6 to be installed in order to run on Mac. JDK 1.7 from Oracle is not officially supported yet and has known problems that stop us from using it by default. Oracle JDK 1.7.0_40 has added support for Retina and works much better than previous versions on Mac. You are welcome to give it a try in case you have any problems with Apple JDK.
To force running under JDK 1.7 edit /Applications/.app/Contents/Info.plist file, change JVMVersion from 1.6* to 1.7* :
<key>JVMVersion</key>
<string>1.7*</string>
See this answer for the known problems with JDK 1.7.
IDEA_JDK environment variable can be used to override the selected JDK, you may need to run the product from the Terminal so that it sees your environment variables (Mac OS limitation): open -a /Applications/.app/ .
Application About dialog will show the actual JDK version.
