Configuring a JDK path to build Jobs

This article uses JDK8 to demonstrate how to configure the JDK path in Talend Studio. This configuration is not needed for Talend Studio 8.0.1 R2024-05 and later.

About this task

Talend Studio requires a JDK installation on your machine instead of JRE only to build Jobs. You must configure the JDK path from the Installed JREs window in Talend Studio before building Jobs. Otherwise, the target archive file will not be created.

For more information on how to select the correct JDK version according to your Talend product version, see the Talend installation documentation on Talend Help Center.

Follow these steps if a Wrong Java setup dialog pops up whenever Talend Studio starts up.
The dialog box indicates that a JDK is required to build Jobs, and explains that the JDK to use can be defined in Windows > Preferences > Java > Installed JREs .

Procedure

  1. Click Windows > Preferences, expand the Java node, and then click Installed JREs.
  2. Click the Add button to install a new JRE or click the Edit button to edit an existing JRE.
  3. Browse to the location of JDK 8 and select it, in this example C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_144.
  4. Click OK to validate your change and close the window.
    Information noteWarning: If you have several Java instances installed, make sure to remove the JREs in the Installed JREs window to prevent the JRE from taking precedence over the JDK.
