FAQs related to JRE (Java) and QuarkXPress Server

Query 1: There is a separate java.exe file in the packages of QuarkXPress Server, do we still need to have JRE running on the Windows server?
Answer: 
QuarkXPress Server is already packaged with JDK, so there is no need to have JRE in the system to run the QuarkXPress server.

Query 2: Can we use another JRE with QuarkXPress Server? then please confirm if Adoptium version 8u392b08_windows_x64 is compatible with QuarkXPress Server?
Answer:  
JDK Adoptium version 8u392b08_windows_x64 is compatible with the JDK 8, which is a part of QuarkXPress Server installer.
In case you have another JRE running in your system, the Adoptium JDK, then the process has to be followed to the set correct environment variables to make it work.

There are 2 ways in which you can run the QuarkXPress Server in your system -
  • Through a given Batch file ServerStartup.bat(already available with the installation path),
  •  As a service.
If you run the QuarkXPress Server from the batch file and you have correctly set the environment variables with the Adoptium JDK, then QuarkXPress Server will run smoothly.
If you run QuarkXPress Server as a service, there is hard dependency over the JDK which is a part of QuarkXPress Server bundle. QuarkXPress Server will run with the JDK bundled with QuarkXPress Server. The Adoptium JDK in the system won't have any impact, it always uses the JDK which is bundled with QuarkXPress Server.

Query 3: How can we set the environment variable for Adoptium JDK ?
Answer: 
Follow below steps to set environment variables after Adoptium JDK installation:

After installing Adoptium JDK, we need to set the JAVA_HOME environment variable to point to the installation directory and add the bin directory to the system's PATH. 

Set JAVA_HOME:
  • Open the System Properties window by right-clicking on Computer/This PC and selecting Properties.
  • Click on the "Advanced system settings" on the left.
  • Click the "Environment Variables" button.
  • In the "System variables" section, click "New" to add a new variable.
  • Set the Variable Name to JAVA_HOME and the Variable Value to the path where Adoptium JDK is installed.
Update PATH:
  • In the same "Environment Variables" window, find the "Path" variable in the "System variables" section.
  • Select it and click "Edit."
  • Add the following to the end of the "Variable Value" field: %JAVA_HOME%\bin
After above changes, open a new command prompt and type java -version to verify that the correct version of Java in use.
