Periscope utilizes the existence of this account to execute queries across the entire SkySpark cluster in order to build out the appropriate Context Sensitive Views and hierarchical information as it pertains to your projects.
Java 8 - (Oracle Download Link)
Expand title More details.. While SkySpark will technically run on it's own with Java 7, Periscope itself has dependencies on Java 8 - remaining in-line with Niagara's Java 8 dependencies.
If not on JAVA 8, it will be immediately obvious when attempting to enable the extension later on because you will receive an error: "Method not mapped to java.lang.reflect correctly"
