Sonatype CLM - Requirements

Sonatype CLM consists of a variety of components, which include:

For each of these components, there are a variety of requirements. These requirements are included in the respective installation sections. However, they have also been gathered here for quick reference.

Like many REST APIs, Sonatype CLM REST APIs are versioned. As a best practice we recommend using the latest version of the REST APIs. This ensures your system will take advantage of the latest features and improvements.

However, we also realize that users of previous API versions need to maintain this compatibility even when there is an update. For this reason, we do provide support for some older versions of the APIs functioning and accessible.

Identifying the version of the API is simple. Below we have provided an example using the REST API for retrieval of an organization ID.

As you can see, the v2 located just after api indicates the version of the API. If you find that the API version you are using is not documented, and would like information on upgrading to the latest version you can contact our support team for assistance.

The Command Line Scanner requires Java be installed on the machine running the application, supports version 1.6 to 1.8.

Sonatype CLM for Nexus is a part of the Nexus CLM Edition, and does not require installation of an specialized components. However, the CLM capabilities do require a user have at least Internet Explorer 9 or any other modern browser.

For information on Nexus requirements please see the support article detailing Sonatype Nexus System Requirement and the prerequisites section of the Nexus Book.

Browser Requirements:

In most cases the Eclipse plugin will render browser content using its own browser widget based on JavaFX.

Where JavaFX is not available the plugin will use the system browser. To properly render content the minimum requirement is Internet Explorer (IE) 9, or another modern browser such as Chrome / Firefox.
