1. Oracle Linux covers both the Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel (UEK) and the Red Hat Compatible Kernel (RHCK).

Linux on ARM

Platform	CPU Architecture	Version	Introduced In	Notes
Ubuntu Linux (Hard-Float ABI)	ARMv8	14.04 - LTS	1.8.0_60	No JavaFX Support Only 64-bit supported
Ubuntu Linux (Hard-Float ABI)	ARMv7 VFP	12.04 - LTS	1.8.0	No JavaFX Support

OS X

Platform	CPU Architecture	Version	Introduced In	Notes
OS X	x64	10.9 and above	1.8.0	Only 64-bit supported macOS 10.15 Catalina support added with 1.8.0_261
OS X	x64	10.8.3+	1.8.0	Only 64-bit supported

Oracle does not certify on Operating System versions that are no longer supported by the Operating System provider. Older versions remain listed only for archival purposes.
Support for SPARC M7, SPARC T7, and SPARC S7 requires JDK 1.8.0_60 or higher.
Support for SPARC M8 and SPARC T8 requires JDK 1.8.0_131 or higher.
Oracle Linux covers both kernels: Red Hat Compatible and Unbreakable.
On 64-bit operating systems (OSs), both 32-bit and 64-bit Java virtual machines (JVMs) are certified, except where noted.
All default desktop managers are certified, except where noted.
For Linux platforms, gtk2 2.18+ is required for supporting JavaFX.
Support for Ubuntu 19.04 incorrectly listed 1.8.0_221 as the release on which it was certified. The correct version is 1.8.0_231.

Virtualization

All the above operating systems are also certified when running as virtual guest on any of the following hypervisors as long as the operating system is supported by that hypervisor.

Oracle VM
VirtualBox 3.x, 4.x
Solaris Containers
Solaris LDOMs
Microsoft Hyper-V Server 2012
Docker

VMware is not a certified hypervisor.

Hardware rendering is not supported in guest systems on Oracle VM, VirtualBox and Hyper-V Server 2012.

Browsers

Browser	Version	Platform	Notes
Internet Explorer	9+	Windows OSs
Microsoft Edge		Windows OSs	Only Web Start applications are supported, Applets are not supported;
Firefox		All OSs that support Firefox	On Firefox versions greater than 52 only Web Start applications are supported, Applets are not supported;
Chrome		Windows OSs	As of Chrome 45 only Web Start applications are supported in Chrome, Applets are not supported
Safari	5.x	OS X	Use 64 bit Browsers on OS X platforms to run the 64 bit JRE Only Web Start applications are supported, Applets are not supported;

Oracle does not certify on browser versions that are no longer supported by the browser's provider.

JavaFX Graphics Support

For JavaFX applications to take advantage of the new hardware acceleration pipeline provided by JavaFX, your system must feature one of the graphics cards below. Otherwise JavaFX will default to the Java2D software pipeline.

Graphics card	Supported Graphics Processing Units (GPUs)
NVIDIA	Mobile GPUs: GeForce 8M and 100M series or higher, NVS 2100M series or higher, and Mobility Quadro FX 300M series or higher Desktop GPUs: GeForce 8 and 100 series or higher Workstation GPUs: Quadro FX 300 series or higher
ATI	Mobile GPUs: Mobility Radeon HD 3000, 4000, and 5000 series Desktop GPUs: Radeon HD 2400, 3000, 4000, 5000, and 6000 series
Intel	Mobile GPUs: GMA 4500MHD and GMA HD Desktop GPUs: GMA 4500 and GMA HD

To avoid rendering issues on Windows platforms, upgrade the ATI driver to Catalyst 11.09 or later.
JavaFX supports graphic hardware acceleration on any certified OS X system.
On Linux platforms, graphic hardware acceleration is only supported for Nvidia cards (proprietary drivers only).

JavaFX Media

Platform	Notes
Windows Vista	JavaFX Media requires that one of the following external modules be installed (by order of preference) to play AAC audio and H.264/AVC video: MainConcept H.264/AVC Pro Decoder Pack DivX Plus Codec Pack MainConcept Showcase (includes demo version codecs)
Windows 7 Windows 8	The pre-installed Microsoft AAC and H.264 DirectShow decoder filters are used by default. However, if the MainConcept H.264/AVC Pro Decoder Pack is installed on your system, then the first available AAC or H.264 decoder from the following list is used within the following order: MainConcept Microsoft DivX Plus MainConcept trial version (demo codecs from Showcase) If none of these decoders is available, AAC and H.264 decoding will fail.
Linux	You must install GLIB 2.28 in order to run JavaFX Media. You must install the following in order to support AAC audio, MP3 audio, H.264 video, and HTTP Live Streaming: `libavcodec53` and `libavformat53` on Ubuntu Linux 12.04 or equivalent.

VP6 video support does not require any third party modules.
On Linux platforms, installing libavformat automatically causes libavcodec to be installed.
