JRE for JBoss/JMX Add-Ons

Hello, two quick questions regarding the Splunk Add-on for JBoss and the Splunk Add-on for JMX:

  • The documentation says that both TA's require Oracle JDK or openJDK. Given the documentation, I'm assuming that there is no possibility to run the TA's with another JDK distribution such as JDK variants of Azul (Zulu Prime aka Zing or Zulu) - could someone here confirm this?

  • If it's indeed not possible, is it sufficient to only have the openJDK on the Heavy Forwarder? I would assume yes since the doc says: "Install Java Runtime 1.7 or later on the same machine as the Splunk Add-on for JBoss. Note: You need to use the OpenJDK Java Runtime or Oracle Java Runtime."

1. Generally, the JREs should be interchangeable (unless you're using some extensions specific to given JRE and not really being part of the JRE standard). So while technically possibly the Azul JDK might work as well, probably nobody tested the add-on with it and it's not on the recommended list so if something breaks, you're on your own.

2. I'm not familiar with this particular add-on but you typically only need JRE on the component where you run your modular inputs. Just as with DBConnect, I'd expect it to be just the HF.
