You can install IBM®
WebSphere® SDK Java™
Technology Edition Version 6.0 for Liberty using the Installation Manager GUI.
Before you begin
Note: Support for using Java SE 6 with WebSphere Liberty ends in September 2017. After
the end of support, the Liberty kernel will be recompiled and can no longer run with Java SE 6. If
you continue to use Java SE 6 on earlier fix packs after the end of support date, you could expose
your environment to security risks.
Java SE 8 is the recommended Java SDK because it provides the
latest features and security updates. You can install it by installing the IBM SDK, Java Technology
Edition, Version 8 package to the package group that contains WebSphere Liberty.
