Lucent Sky AVM 2.8.1 brings extended functionality to Runtime, which was first available in v2.8. Also included in this release are support for additional types of Java applications such as desktop applications and class libraries. The Visual Studio Extension has also been redesigned to fully support Visual Studio 2015.

Runtime was introduced in Lucent Sky AVM 2.8 to allow users to scan an application using a specific runtime the application was designed for, enabling higher compatibility and accuracy. In v2.8.1, we combined framework versioning with runtime so they can be managed more easily. For example, if the user choose Tomcat 7 as the runtime for an application, Java 6 will be set as the framework automatically. User can also manually override this to use a different Java version (say Java 7) alongside Tomcat 7.

In addition to extended runtime management, additional features in Lucent Sky AVM 2.8.1 includes

• Support for Java desktop applications and class libraries - Desktop applications and class libraries developed in Java can now be scanned as the entry application (typically meaning that they are interfacing with external users or serving as APIs).
• Redesigned Visual Studio Extension - Lucent Sky AVM’s Visual Studio Extension (VSIX) has been redesigned to take advantages of new features available in Visual Studio 2015. Also, the new Visual Studio Extension will support all editions of Visual Studio 2015, including Visual Studio Community, the free edition of Visual Studio 2015.
