Historically, PS ships a bundled version of Java to run Scaffold and other products. Sometimes this version can be replaced as a workaround for another issue. This procedure explains how to do this.
-
Download the desired version of Java from here (be sure to download the 64-bit Java for 64-bit Scaffold):
-
Install on your system (See their documentation for details on how to do this)
- Find your Scaffold installation (eg,
/opt/Scaffold 4
orC:\Program Files\Scaffold 4
) and rename thejre
folder tojre_orig
. Scaffold requires the Java JRE directory (jre
) to be in this installation folder to function. -
Find the
jre
folder for the new version of Java you just installed (usually inside the JDK folder, eg, like this on Linux:/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.8.0-openjdk-amd64/jreX.X_XX
) and copy it to the Scaffold installation directory, rename it tojre
and restart Scaffold. You can confirm it’s working by launching Scaffold and going to Help > About Scaffold. Java version appears towards the bottom.
