Thanks for alerting me to this discussion, Dixie.
The v3 Prelude Quick Start Guide mentions JDK/JRE version requirement on
page 4 (in a Note in the "Obtaining...Software" topic).
I think it would be prudent to provide detailed information about
verifying what users are running into the Installation Guide, given that
the Quick Start Guide is not a must-use document, just an option for
people who want to look the product over. The Quick Start Guide should
be updated to provide a link to the Installation Guide content when that
content is ready.
Anissa, I'll contact you to work out the specifics on this, unless you
advise me otherwise.
Regards,
SueAnn
