Hi, Thanks for letting us know about this. What OS are you using? Burp works best with Java 8. In fact, we recommend you use one of the platform installers, which includes a suitable JRE. Some users report success with Java 10 but this configuration is not currently supported. We will try to fix your issue though as we intend to support Java 10 in the future.

To fix this in Kali: Run update-alternatives --config java and then select the number that corresponds to /usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64/jre/bin/java from the menu.

There's only one minus sign. It's java -version

Just posting to say thanks Jason. Saved me a good bit of troubleshooting

Liam, PortSwigger Agent | Last updated: Apr 03, 2019 09:58AM UTC

Could you try using the platform installer. This comes bundled with its own Java version.

I used the platform installer for Linux 64. But i'm getting: Your JRE appears to be version 1.8.0_222 from Private Build Burp has not been fully tested on this platform and you may experience problems.

We have just installed Burp Suite Professional onto a virtual instance of Kali Linux using the bash script that we provide from our website and we aren't seeing this issue as the java version bundled with Burp Suite Pro is version 11.0.2 which is supported. If you execute ../BurpSuitePro/jre/bin/java --version what output do you get?

Burp User | Last updated: Nov 06, 2019 06:42PM UTC

Tried Jayson's solution but it's still only using v11

Hi Austin, Are you having a particular issue?

Burp User | Last updated: Nov 29, 2019 11:56AM UTC

Hi, If you click past this warning message are you having any issues with Burp running using this version of Java?

Could not start Burp: java.lang.IllegalStateException: 32-bit systems are not supported. when i run burpsuite kali linux 32 bit

Uthman, PortSwigger Agent | Last updated: May 01, 2020 01:35PM UTC

Burp will only work on a 64-bit Linux system. The last version to support 32-bit is 2.0.12beta and that version can only be run on Windows.
