- removed version
Allow to use system Java on Windows / OS X
Issue #842
resolved
Forcing a bundled copy is not good because:
- It takes additional space on disk and in memory
- It cannot be easily updated to the latest version, and
- As it becomes old, bugs and security holes may be revealed in this copy
One solution could be
- Modify launcher scripts to use system
javaw
if thejre/
directory is not present - Add a "Install Java (private copy)" installer option that would create the
jre/
directory

repo owner It will only work with 32 bit JRE's though
-
repo owner - changed version to 1.5.1
-
reporter What if the installer installed also 64-bit
ServiioConsole64.exe
andServiioService64.exe
? By default these wouldn't be used, but people would be able to utilize them with a 64-bit system Java installation. -
repo owner - changed status to resolved
will be able to use JAVA_HOME variable on Windows to point to a 32bit Java (via the exe) or 32/64 bit (via the bat files)
