There are known java issues when using E-CollabCenter on a Vista FDCC, XP FDCC and SDC 2.0.4
machine. Appendix B highlights the administrative level adjustments needed to ensure that E-
CollabCenter works seamlessly with FDCC and SDC v2.0.4. There are no known issues once the
changes in Appendix B are applied to FDCC and SDC v2.0.4. For more information about FDCC please

4.5 Details on the required Sun Java Runtime Environment (JRE)
The E-CollabCenter solution requires Sun Java JRE release 1.5.0, update 12 or later. Links to
compatible versions may be found in Section 1
of this document.
Some of the common effects of not having the correct JRE:
1. Meeting hangs at testing connectivity and inability to enter a meeting.
2. Ability to enter a meeting, but only see a blue/grey screen.
3. Inability to screen share/whiteboard, no Audio/Video etc. If you check the meeting logs, the native
libraries for screen sharing, audio/video will not have been downloaded, etc.
How to verify that your workstation has Sun Java JRE release 1.5.0 or later installed
1. Go to Start>Settings>Control Panel.
2. If you have Sun Java installed, you should see a ‘Java’ tea cup
3. Click to open it and click on the ‘About’ tab to check the version.
If your workstation does not have Sun Java build 1.5.0_12 or greater installed on the
machine, you can acquire it using one of the following URLs. Please note that you must
have local administrative privileges to install Java. If you do not have local
administrative privileges, please contact your local Help Desk.
