Anypoint Studio 7.21.0 Release Notes

Anypoint Studio is an Eclipse-based integration development environment for designing and testing Mule applications.

February 6, 2025

What’s New

  • Studio supports and is bundled with Mule runtime engine 4.9.0.

    Studio upgrades Mule runtime engine to 4.9 so you can work with its latest features and benefit from the fixed issues. Mule 4.9 LTS and Edge run and compile only on Java 17. To use Mule 4.9, upgrade your apps to run on Java 17.

  • Studio 7.21 drops support for Java 8 and 11.

    Studio 7.21 and later no longer supports Java 8 and 11. You must use Java 17.

    If you must use Java 8 and 11 for your projects, you can use Studio 7.20.0. See Download and Install Anypoint Studio. Standard support for Java 8 and 11 ends in March 2025 for Mule 4.8 Edge and August 2025 for 4.6 LTS, so plan your upgrade path for apps that are running on Java 8 or 11 accordingly.

Hardware Requirements

  • 2GHz CPU

  • 10GB free hard drive space

Software Requirements

Studio is compatible with these operating systems and their standard configuration. Using Studio on configurations other than the supported operating systems can result in unexpected behaviors.

  • Operating Systems

    • macOS 12 through 14

    • Windows 10, Windows 11 (64-bit)*

    • RHEL 9*

    • Ubuntu 18.04 or later LTS

*Windows 11 and RHEL support is based on the Eclipse support matrix. For more information, see Eclipse target environments.

Running real-time antivirus protection software on your operating system might have a negative impact on Anypoint Studio performance. Although this issue is prominent on Windows, it also occurs on Linux and macOS.

The steps to solve these performance issues vary depending on your antivirus software. A typical solution is to either allow or exclude the Anypoint Studio and Java executables, the Studio install and workspace filesystem locations, or some combination of both. See examples of solutions for Trellix Endpoint Security Threat Prevention, Windows Security, and Broadcom Endpoint Protection.

Workspace Upgrade Requirements

You can create and organize projects in workspaces with Studio. When you first open Studio, it automatically generates a default workspace to store your projects. Your Mule application projects aren’t fully compatible with workspaces in a different version of Studio.

Projects created with Studio 6.x aren’t compatible with Studio 7.x because they’re Mule 3.x projects.

See Update Workspaces for more information.
