Hi @varaprasadande1 ,

Java 17 is not supported by AEM 6.5 & It supports java8 and java11.

You can install the latest version of Orcale Java 11.0.19(jdk11-archive-downloads ) from Oracle official website or Adobe Software Distribution(software-distribution/en/general).

@varaprasadande1 I believe- Oracle Java™ 11 is supported until September 2026 at a minimum. Support for Oracle Java™ 17 is in preparation.

you could also always specify the JAVA_HOME variable to be used in the /crx-quickstart/bin/start file.

Hello, could you please tell us how to specify the JAVA_HOME variable to be used in the /crx-quickstart/bin/start file or provide a tutorial link on that? Thanks in advance

Hi @Manu_Mathew_  does Adobe have any idea about release-dates yet, for Java 17 support?
