Hi there
We need to update the version of Java used in our WebHelp plugin to version 17.
Which components of the plugin do I need to make this change to, please.
Many thanks
Matt

Hi Matt,
Since version 26.0 and the update to DITA-OT 4.x, the WebHelp Responsive plugin should use Java 17.
Could you indicate which version you are running and how you are running it? (inside Oxygen, in a separate Oxygen Publishing Engine or in a separate DITA-OT)
Regards,
Julien

Hi Julien
Apologies, I should have provided those details with my original post.
Our customised plugin uses the WebHelp Responsive plugin version 23.
It is being run in DITA-OT 3.2.1 on our CCMS.
The CCMS vendor has just updated Java to version 17 and have advised that we should update our WebHelp plugin to use this version.
Many thanks
Regards
Matt

Hi Matt,
Oxygen WebHelp 23 has already reached its
end of support period so to enable Java 17 you need to upgrade to version 26.0 or above in order to get a plugin based on DITA-OT 4.x.

Julien

Hi Julien
Thank you. Must we use DITA-OT 4.x with version 26.

Hi Matt,
You must use Oxygen WebHelp 26.0 or higher in order to get Java 17 support.
