Description Jesse Glick 2007-11-13 14:38:37 UTC 
The logic to select a version of javaws to run based on the selected JDK does not work on Windows.
Comment 1 Jesse Glick 2007-11-13 14:39:51 UTC 
Checking in jnlp.xml;
/shared/data/ccvs/repository/apisupport/harness/release/jnlp.xml,v  <--  jnlp.xml
new revision: 1.50; previous revision: 1.49
done
Comment 2 Jesse Glick 2007-11-13 14:55:27 UTC 
Seems somehow unreliable even with the fix. javaws.exe behaves strangely - sometimes uses the version of Java it is part
of, sometimes uses the default Java in the registry. Can't figure why. And if the program fails, e.g.
jdk5\jre\bin\javaws.exe can print

Bad installation. Error invoking Java VM (execv) 
C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.6.0_03\bin\javaw.exe: No such file or directory
Java Web Start splash screen process exiting .....
tLast WinSock Error: 0
Result: -1

after actually running the program under 1.5! Anyway, patch at least tries to invoke the right version.

(Encountered while trying to reproduce issue #121777 with IDE running on JDK 6u3 and target platform for suite set to
JDK 5u14.)

Integrated into 'main-golden', will be available in build *201104140401* on http://bits.netbeans.org/dev/nightly/ (upload may still be in progress)
Changeset: http://hg.netbeans.org/main/rev/9226c9d55e66
User: Jesse Glick <jglick@netbeans.org>
Log: #121819 cont'd: even Unix JREs/JDKs starting with 1.5 put the javaws executable in the normal bin directory, not a javaws subdir.
