When running an application locally, Studio Pro uses a Java installation compatible with the local operating system.

When deploying the same application to Mendix on Kubernetes, the application runs inside Linux containers. These containers use the Java runtime included in the generated runtime image.

Because of this separation:

• Local Java configuration applies only to development and testing
• Deployed Java runtime is determined by the container image
• Local Java patch version does not override the patch version in the cluster
• Supported major Java version selection is used during deployment

This behavior explains why changing a local Java subversion does not force the same patch version in Microsoft Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) or other Kubernetes environments.
