Description

Download rseserver-3.6.0-linux.tar from http://download.eclipse.org/tm/updates/4.2/20161026/rseserver/rseserver-3.6.0-linux.tar

Make sure the default java is Java 9 JRE/JDK
Run ./server.pl

You will get an output saying that the a higher java version is required

[user@server]$ ./server.pl
DStore Server Starting...
JRE 1.4 or higher required

Java version scheme has changed in Java 9 and hence is the error.

Attached you can find a Gerrit change that updates the java version checking in org.eclipse.dstore.core.server.Server
