There is a lot of good Java software, but it’s difficult to get Java running on a NAS. I decided to do something about that, mainly to pave the way for a Serviio package that didn’t require a huge guide to install. In compliance with the Oracle EULA the Java binaries cannot be redistributed, so this package looks for the downloaded .tar.gz archive in the public shared folder on the NAS. The end user is required to register with Oracle to get the file, as you can see from the description below. I also added locale support to the underlying Linux since Java requires this for UTF-8 support when reading from the filesystem (DSM 4.3 later included this). Timezone support is also configured.

This package installs Java SE Embedded which is purposefully designed to run on low specification headless hardware. It should be noted that Synology Java Manager (only available on Intel products) is the full Java Runtime Environment, and consequently uses more RAM. By default you should use Java 8, unless the application you want to run specifically requires Java 7.

Please note that Oracle ceased maintaining Java 6 in 2012, so it should be considered a serious security vulnerability. The Java 6 package has been withdrawn from the package repository for this reason. If you need it to run a particular piece of software you may download it here for manual installation. Please also note that Oracle retired support for PowerPC CPUs following Java 8 Update 6, so the PowerPC package remains at that version.

Instructions

• In Synology DSM’s Package Center, click Settings and add my package repository:
  
• The repository will push its certificate automatically to the NAS, which is used to validate package integrity. Set the Trust Level to Synology Inc. and trusted publishers:
  
• Now browse the Community section in Package Center to install a Java SE Embedded package:
  
  The repository only displays packages which are compatible with your specific model of NAS. If you don’t see Java Embedded in the list, then either your NAS model or your DSM version are not supported at this time.
• If you have a multi-bay NAS, use the Shared Folder control panel to create a shared folder called public (it must be all lower case). On single bay models this is created by default. Assign it with Read/Write privileges for everyone.
• Register with Oracle and download the appropriate version of Java SE Embedded for your CPU architecture and save in the public shared folder on your NAS. Note that to get any version of Java older than the current one you will need to follow the Oracle Java SE Embedded Downloads Archive link on that page. If in doubt, attempt to install the package first, and the error message will tell you which specific download version is required.
• If you have trouble getting the Java archive recognised, try downloading it with a different web browser. Some browsers try to help by uncompressing the file, or renaming it without warning. I have tried to code around most of these behaviours. Use Firefox if all else fails.

For information, here are the package scripts so you can see what it’s going to do. You can get more information about how packages work by reading the Synology 3rd Party Developer Guide.
