Java Plugin

When working with Java in Studio version 1.25.1 and higher, it is recommended to consider the following points:

  1. Minimum Java Version: Java SE Runtime Environment (JRE) version 7 Update 6 (7u6) and higher, as Java Access Bridge is enabled by default starting with this version, but not activated.

  2. Java Access Bridge: To ensure accessibility of Java elements through Primo, you need to enable Java Access Bridge. How to activate:

    • Go to Control Panel > Ease of Access > Use computer without a display.
    • Check the Enable Java Access Bridge checkbox.
  3. Bit Compatibility: Make sure the bit version of the installed Java (e.g., 32-bit or 64-bit) matches the bit version of Primo RPA Studio and Primo RPA Robot.

  4. For older Java versions (e.g., 1.6.0_31 and lower), Java Access Bridge is not integrated by default. In this case, you will need to download and install a more recent version of Java SE (7u6 and higher) for compatibility.

  5. Links to the archive of versions: The archive of older Java versions is available on the official Oracle website https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/downloads/archive/

Starting with Primo RPA Studio 1.25.1, working with Java elements is guaranteed only when using Java version 7u6 and higher.

How to Enable Java Access Bridge

  1. Make sure Java version 7u6 or higher is installed.
  2. To activate Java Access Bridge, perform the following:
    • Control Panel > Ease of Access > Use computer without a display.
    • Check the Enable Java Access Bridge checkbox.

To Update Java:

  1. Download Java version 7u6 or higher from Oracle version archive.
  2. Remove the old version of Java and install the new one.
  3. Activate Java Access Bridge as described above.
