- JBoss Developer Studio 6.0
- JBoss Developer Studio 5.0

Note for all releases of JBoss Developer Studio
As JBoss Developer Studio is based on Eclipse, the system requirements of Eclipse also apply to JBoss Developer Studio. For example, GTK is required as the windowing system on Linux distributions, Win32 on Microsoft Windows operating systems, and Cocoa on Mac OS X operating systems. For more information about Eclipse Kepler system requirements, see the following information sources on the Eclipse website:
- Eclipse Neon (4.6), http://www.eclipse.org/eclipse/development/readme_eclipse_4.6.html
- Eclipse Mars (4.5), http://www.eclipse.org/eclipse/development/readme_eclipse_4.5.html
- Eclipse Luna (4.4), http://www.eclipse.org/eclipse/development/readme_eclipse_4.4.html
- Eclipse Kepler (4.3), http://www.eclipse.org/eclipse/development/readme_eclipse_4.3.html
- Eclipse Juno (4.2), http://www.eclipse.org/eclipse/development/readme_eclipse_4.2.html
- Eclipse Indigo (3.7), http://www.eclipse.org/eclipse/development/readme_eclipse_3.7.html
- Eclipse Helios (3.6), http://www.eclipse.org/eclipse/development/readme_eclipse_3.6.html
- The visual component of the Visual Page Editor, which depends on XULRunner, does not operate in the 64-bit version of JBoss Developer Studio on Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows operating systems. To work around this restriction, you must install a 32-bit version of JBoss Developer Studio with a 32-bit Java Development Kit on 64-bit Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows operating systems. This means JBoss Developer Studio can run with a 32-bit JVM but servers and other applications can still be launched with 64-bit JVMs from within JBoss Developer Studio. As of JBoss Developer Studio 8.0, the workaround is unnecessary because the HTML Preview view is used for the Visual Page Editor visual component when XULRunner is not available.
- Both Oracle JDK and OpenJDK 1.7 update 40 have a known issue when creating temporary files (see http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=8025128 and https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8025128). JBoss Developer Studio 7.0.1 and later include modifications to JBoss Central to work around this issue but you may still encounter difficulties with other IDE tools. If this is the case, use an alternative version of Java Development Kit 1.7 before or after update 40.
