RTIDDSGEN Java Version Compatibility

As of RTI version 5.2.3, what is the minimum supported JRE that code generated via rtiddsgen.bat will support? I saw another question in the forums similar to this regarding Java 1.6 it said that by default rtiddgen.bat uses Java 1.4 to generate the code. After looking through %NDDSHOME%\resource\app\jre\i86Win32\bin I ran "java -version" on the java.exe included in that directory. It said that is was version 1.7. Can JRE versions 1.4-1.6 still run Java code generated via RTIDDSGEN using a .idl file? I was unable to find any information on this online. Any information on this will be benificial. 

Thank you.

Hi Jacob,
You are right, RTI Code Generator (5.2.3) is run with 1.7 Java version which is taken it from $NDDSHOME/resource/app/jre/<arch>

The code generated by RTI Code Generator (5.2.3) is tested using 1.7 Java version.
Also, you should be able to compile and run using versions 1.4 and above. Although I would recommend you to use 1.7 if possible.

Let me know if you have further questions.

Best,
Antonio
