JDKUpdateTesting

Once a new version of JDK x.y is released ( major version x) , we must test for the following things.

General

• 1 Ensure that there are no default JDK installed on the machine
• 2 Launch eclipse with the JDK x . Once launched ensure that in the preference Java-> Installed JREs , JDK x is selected.

• 3 Launch debug configuration and see if the debug launch is successful

a) look at error log
b) Ensure compiler compliance is x
c) create a sample java project with JavaSE-x EE
d) compile your repository plugins 
e) ensure compliance level for compiler is x
f) change compliance level for compiler to x-1 
g) also check c,d and e with java project created with JavaSE-(x-1) or whichever is the previous major java release

• 4 Launch run configuration and see if the run launch is successful

Repeat steps 3a) to 3g)

• 5) Ensure JDK x is the default JDK installed on the machine and repeat 1 to 4
• 6) Ensure JDK x-1 ( or previous major release version) is default JDK and repeat 1 to 4.
• 7) Ensure both JDK x and JDK x-1 are present in installed JRE and then launch using JDK x (steps 3a) to 3g)
• 8) Ensure both JDK x and JDK x-1 are present in installed JRE and then launch using JDK x-1 (steps 3a) to 3g)
