As previously announced in Eurex Exchange’s T7 Release 2.1 release announcement (Eurex Circular 276/13) and the accompanying Release Notes for T7 Release 2.1, the installation of Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 1.7 on the participants’ side is mandatory. Participants must therefore ensure that they have installed the necessary JRE 1.7 version prior to the production launch of Eurex Exchange’s T7 Release 2.1 on 12 May 2014.
From T7 Release 2.1 onwards, the Eurex T7 Trader GUI and Eurex T7 Admin GUI make use of features only provided with JRE 1.7 and therefore the usage with older JRE versions will no longer be possible. In the event that the correct JRE version is not installed, the respective Eurex T7 Trader GUI and Eurex T7 Admin GUI will not start and the corresponding error message will be displayed. Please also be aware that Oracle also terminated support (including provision of security updates) for all JRE 1.6 versions in February 2013.
For more details on the minimum and recommended JRE 1.7 versions, please refer to the document “Eurex Trader GUI & Eurex Admin GUI - Installation Manual” which is available for download on the Eurex website under:
