Java version problems?

Gatling (Open-Source)
1

I’m running windows 7.

When I try to run

gatling-charts-highcharts-2.0.0-RC4\bin\gatling.bat

I get the following.

GATLING_HOME is set to “C:\Users\myuser\Documents\gatling-charts-highcharts-2.0.0-RC4”
Exception in thread “main” java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: Gatling requires Java >= 7u6
Press any key to continue . . .

I’ve updated java to the latest version.

C:\Users\myuser>java -version
java version “1.7.0_03”
Java™ SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_03-b05)
Java HotSpot™ 64-Bit Server VM (build 22.1-b02, mixed mode)

Is there a problem with my version of java? Is it a problem with Gatling calling some unsupported feature and this is the generic catch all message?
Any help would be appreciated.

I was able to run the Gatling recorder.

I’ve updated java to the latest version.
java version “1.7.0_03”

Well, no, you haven’t.
You’re running update 3 that was released February 14, 2012 (http://www.java.com/en/download/faq/release_dates.xml).
Latest JDK7 update is 67.

As doc states, Gatling now requires 7u6+.

Thanks for that.
I did run my java updater and it said I have the latest…
I’m going to try manual update it and see how that goes.

Thanks for that.
I install the update to the latest version manually.
I was having trouble with the java updater, it was saying everything was up to date.
