console error at startup says upgrade to java 9

Post by sdowney717 »

Language: English
[17/2 07:07] Warning: System Events not supported in this java version. Upgrade to java 9 or above!

Before the install, I went to Java and downloaded the latest one presented which called itself Java 8

I dont see any Java 9 at the site.

System events not supported sounds like something wont work right?

All versions of java below java 9 will give this warning.
The warning exists because Yawcam can't handle when the computer goes into sleep mode or hibernation with these java versions in a correct way.

Best is to upgrade to a later version of java.
I would recommend to use java 17 from:

(It's the download called "Temurin 17 (LTS)")
