User releases for Windows and Linux already include the correct Java version.
Developer releases and user releases for Mac do not include Java. You must ensure that you have a compatible version of Java installed on your system.
If the minor version of your installed Java is different from the recommended one (for instance, 1.6.0_35 instead of 1.6.0_37) HIPE prints a warning in the command line window from which it was started. Minor version differences are unlikely to cause problems, but this cannot be guaranteed.

If the major version of your installed Java is different (for instance, 1.5.0 instead of 1.6.0) HIPE shows a warning in a dialogue window at startup. Major version differences are very likely to cause problems. We do not recommend that you try to run HIPE 10.0 with a Java version other than 1.6.0. In particular, HIPE 10 is known to give incorrect results if used under Java 7.
