[Solved] Java 8 vs. Java 7

I notice that the binary packages for UMS explicitly say "Java7" -- is this a requirement? In other words, is it important to be running Java 7 to use UMS or is Java 8 functioning just fine as well?
(I'm only asking because I have a very strange bug since updating to Windows 10, and I'm not 100% sure if I went from Java 7 to Java 8 in this update or not.)

UMS comes for both Java 6, 7 and 8
Find your version here:

Ahh -- thanks! I didn't think to look for other installers when the webpage did the automatic download for the latest version.

You can also choose between the Java versions on the front page by clicking the arrow button next to the OS logos - it expands the full download options.

Hi All,
I do have one question, if we have Java 8 installed. Should we be using Java8 version over the java7 version?
I know if we only have Java7 installed then we cannot use the Java8 version.
But is there advantages over using Java8 version from 7 or is it mute and only for users who have different versions of Java?

There isn't much advantage either way
