We are upgrading our application and if we use Sun JDK on local it works and its failing on DEV box. we have IBM jdk on our DEV box. What is the SUN equivalent JDK that Websphere 7 has?
WebSphere 7 supports Java6 and JEE5.
However, it requires Java versions shipped with WebSphere itself. (Most are IBM's own Java SDKs, although I think the Solaris version of WebSphere might ship with Oracle's Java.)

I have a task to update 8.5.5.2 web sphere to 8.5.5.14 on a windows 2008 server. I have java 1.7 already installed (and java 6 as well) and all the profiles uses it.
How ever when i try to apply fix patch using IBM installation manager, by default it's installing Java 8 which is not supported on windows 2008.
Is there a way where i can by pass java 8 and install only the fix patch (8.5.5.14) from installation manager.
Any pointer/help would be really appreciated. Thanks.
Installation Manager Screenshot:
No, WebSphere 8.5.5.14 requires Java 8, and Java 8 is not supported on Windows 2008 Server. If you must stay with Windows 2008 you can't update WebSphere past 8.5.5.13. More detail here: IBM WebSphere SDK Java Technology Edition 8.0 Minimum Supported Operating Systems
This is what IBM documentation ( https://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg27045339 ) says, I did some shortcuts to make key points easier to notice in a long article:
In 8.5.5.14 and later, it is planned that (Java8) SDK will be required for all new installations and all updates (fixpacks).
In 8.5.5.14 (...) prior operating system releases (such as Windows 2008 (...) ) will no longer be supported.
So unfortunately what you are trying to do is not supported:
Although Java7 is still fine as a runtime environment for your servers, for example if your business application is not yet Java8 compatible, you need to have Java8 installed as a default JVM for Websphere 8.5.5.14 "internal" requirements.
You cant have IBM's Java8 installed in Windows2008, which is mandatory for Websphere 8.5.5.14, that means you cant install Websphere 8.5.5.14.
In the end, I would like to remind you, that you can upgrade to a previous release: 8.5.5.13. Version 8.5.5.13 is 11 fixpacks newer than what you already have, maybe it will suffice for your needs.
Bottom line - upgrade windows to a current version that's not 11 years old. Or, better yet, put it on Linux. WAS is great on Linux! Red Hat, Suse, OpenSuse, Fedora, CentOS are good flavors.
As per MQ 7.5 client, minimum requirement is jdk 1.5 client want to connect with MQ. But my application is written in jdk 1.4 and client don't want to migrate application from 1.4 to 1.5. they are upgrading MQ client from 7.0.0 to 7.5. Please suggest if we have any alternate solution for this.
This is really a question about managing software upgrades.
Is it possible the client is moving to WMQ 7.5 because 7.0 has reached end of support?
In that case the same business case can be made for JRE 1.4 end of support:

JDK/JRE v1.4.2 has been long out of support by Oracle/Sun. Use a supported version of the JDK/JRE by Oracle.
IBM has an easy to use web page to look up MQ version and the minimum supported version of Java (JDK/JRE). http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg27006467
Summary:
MQ v7.0.0/7.0.1 supports JDK/JRE 32-bit v1.4.2 or higher / 64-bit v5.0 or higher
MQ v7.1 supports JDK/JRE 32-bit & 64-bit v5.0 or higher
MQ v7.5 supports JDK/JRE 32-bit & 64-bit v5.0 or higher
MQ v8.0 supports JDK/JRE 32-bit & 64-bit v7.0 or higher
MQ v9.0 supports JDK/JRE 32-bit & 64-bit v7.0 or higher
I am looking at the latest websphere liberty 8.5.5.7 full platform (https://developer.ibm.com/wasdev/downloads/liberty-profile-using-non-eclipse-environments/) and I wonder if it can run oracle java 8? I see on the download page that ibms java 8 only supports the web profile but I don't care if i run a jdk from oracle or ibm as long as it is version 8.
Historically websphere has demanded ibms jdk on linux and solaris.
I have search ibms site but not found any answer.
Yes we support running Liberty on non-IBM JVMs, including those from Oracle. As for the downloads from IBM that come bundled with Java 8 you can use that with more than the web profile (you can use the installUtility to download and install the full Java EE 7 platform onto the web profile install).
We are upgrading our application java platform to latest stable one and we are using Jboss 6 AS.
Is Oracle JDK8 a supported platform for JBoss 6 AS ?
No. Its not going to work. JBoss AS 6 and 7 are not compatible with Oracle JDK 1.8. You need to download WildFly 10 in order to work with JDK 1.8.
WildFly is formerly knows as JBoss AS
i think no
JBoss AS7 Supported with JDK8 | JBoss Developer

Yesterday, I've downloaded and install the free trial version of WAS v7. The version I've downloaded is 7.0.0.9 but I need to certify my application against 7.0.0.3.
Where can I get this version?
UPDATED: It turns out that what I really needed was WebSphere Application Server for Developpers
It's working!
Now it can be downloaded from HERE
This link provides a Windows or Linux version of WebSphere 7.0.0.0 for development testing.
WebSphere Application Server for Developers V7
This link provides Fix Pack 3 for Windows (a Linux version of the fix pack is also available.)
