Jboss 7 need alternative JRE

Have a problem. Before start server jboss 7.1.1, I have a problem:

**Error:** JDK 1.7 (or earlier) should be specified either as project SDK or 
alternative JRE

I am using jdk 1.8 In project. And I can use only 1.6 JRE for working with JBOSS.

If I used 1.8 at project, and 1.6 jre with jboss, I take error with unsupported major.minor version 52.0.

Can I change jdk for JBOSS on 1.8? And how to do it?

I found the posting below on the JBoss developer developer forum.

The short version is that you would need to backport various bug fixes to JBoss AS 7 in order to get it run on a Java 8 JRE. It would be better / easier to upgrade to Wildfly. (He says.)

Re: AS 7 on Java 8 by Tomaz Cerar Apr 8, 2015 6:18 AM (in response to Matija Vizintin)

Any big reason you cannot upgrade to WildFly 8?

Core issue that prevents boot of AS7 on JDK8 is https://issues.jboss.org/browse/WFLY-2057

which was fixed by https://github.com/wildfly/wildfly/commit/fa93ceff49c3e84851cb8b00157e4fbed1d2cdb7

You could apply this commit to https://github.com/wildfly/wildfly/releases/tag/7.2.0.Final-testsuite-fix tag and rebuild it.

but, this will only make sure server starts on JDK8, there ware handful of other fixes / changes that we needed to address to make sure testsuite passes properly.

In any case, i would recommend you to go with WildFly 8.2.0.Final.
