Hi, we are finalizing the migration to Java 9 For the moment, please use Java 8 Antonio Hello, Thanks for report but If you read here: http://jmeter.apache.org/download_jmeter.cgi Or here: http://jmeter.apache.org/changes.html You'll see that JMeter 3.3 is not compatible with Java 9 yet as a lot of applications as Java 9 is a breaking version due to module. This is tracked under Bug 61529 The nightly build is now compatible (except for the Windows shell) with Java 9 if you want to give it a try: - http://jmeter.apache.org/nightly.html The stackoverflow question you mention has no relation. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 61529 *** This issue has been migrated to GitHub: https://github.com/apache/jmeter/issues/4550 |
After installing jmeter, it fails to start: ```shell $ jmeter Error: Java version is too low to run JMeter. Needs at least Java >= 1.8.0 ``` This because of this bit of shell script in `/usr/local/Cellar/jmeter/3.3/libexec/bin/jmeter`: ```sh # Minimal version to run JMeter MINIMAL_VERSION=1.8.0 # Check if Java is present and the minimal version requirement _java=`type java | awk '{ print $ NF }'` CURRENT_VERSION=`"$_java" -version 2>&1 | awk -F'"' '/version/ {print $2}'` minimal_version=`echo $MINIMAL_VERSION | awk -F'.' '{ print $2 }'` current_version=`echo $CURRENT_VERSION | awk -F'.' '{ print $2 }'` if [ $current_version ]; then if [ $current_version -lt $minimal_version ]; then echo "Error: Java version is too low to run JMeter. Needs at least Java >= ${MINIMAL_VERSION}." exit 1 fi else echo "Not able to find Java executable or version. Please check your Java installation." exit 1 fi ``` which compares the `8` in `1.8.0` to the `0` in `9.0.1` (the `java` cask), thus deciding Java 9 is too old. This is a [known issue](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/38128132/cant-run-jmeter-on-os-x-el-capitan).
