<div class="paragraph">
<p>Building a project like Apache PLC4X on multiple target operating-systems is quite a challenge, but I think we managed to make it as simple as possible.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>However, when building PLC4X there are some requirements the build is expecting you to have provided.
However, this greatly depends on which parts you want to build.
The <code>Java</code> modules hereby probably have the least demanding requirements.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>In order to build most Java parts of <code>PLC4X</code> you are required to have at least <code>Java 9</code> installed on your machine.
Some integration modules and some other languages however may add some additional constraints to this.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>As soon as you&#8217;re building with the <code>with-c</code>, <code>with-cpp</code> or <code>with-proxies</code> you need to use at least <code>Java 11</code> as the <code>cmake-maven-plugin</code> requires at least this version.</p>
</div>
<div class="admonitionblock tip">
<table>
<tr>
<td class="icon">
<div class="title">Tip</div>
</td>
<td class="content">
Currently, Java 11 is the sweet-spot for being able to build all parts of PLC4X.
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
<div class="admonitionblock tip">
<table>
<tr>
<td class="icon">
<div class="title">Tip</div>
</td>
<td class="content">
We have tested the build with Java 11 up to Java 16 (Latest version at the time of writing this document).
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>If a new version comes out, please give us a little time to verify and handle any related issues.
We&#8217;ll probably fix them as soon as possible.
However, in the past with Oracle&#8217;s new release strategy, there have been a few bumps on the road.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Also will PLC4X build with any Maven version starting with <code>Maven 3.3.0</code> however the <code>with-c</code>, <code>with-cpp</code> and <code>with-proxies</code> profiles require at least <code>Maven 3.6</code> as the <code>cmake-maven-plugin</code> requires this.</p>
