I’m considering to upgrade my PC to Windows 8, but I have one concern though.
I haven’t yet found any “confirmation”, that the JDK and Eclipse will work on Windows 8.
Have anyone tried to develop/run Java-applications on Windows 8?
Answer
Confirmed – the JDK and Eclipse will work on Windows 8. I’m running Windows 8 RTM (64-bit). I just downloaded Eclipse from http://eclipse.org/downloads/packages/eclipse-ide-java-ee-developers/junor and the JDK from http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk-6u31-download-1501634.html. I’m not a Java developer, but I was able to open Eclipse and build and run a simple Hello World app.
