Does ws-agent require JDK?

I’m getting the below error when starting a ubuntu workspace using a base image that doesn’t have JDK.

[STDOUT] 2017/04/28 10:20:12 Terminal routes:
[STDOUT] 2017/04/28 10:20:12 ✓ Connect to pty(webscoket) ............... GET    /pty
[STDOUT] 2017/04/28 10:20:12 
[STDERR] /bin/sh: 57: [: Illegal number:  <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

[STDOUT] software-properties-common is already the newest version (0.96.20.6).

I think this refers to https://github.com/eclipse/che/blob/master/wsagent/agent/src/main/resources/org.eclipse.che.ws-agent.script.sh#L57

Is JDK required to use the ws-agent? We are developing with PHP in the ws not Java and the docs seem to imply it isn’t required.

Yeah, got it. Will issue a PR to fix it.

@davidwindell yes, jdk is required for a workspace agent.

And it looks like a bug in a bash script. Testing it on a clean ubuntu image now.
