Description Tomas Danek 2008-08-18 12:51:56 UTC 
steps to reproduce:
- run some qa-func. tests from BTD against full IDE
- Tool|Java platforms in tested IDE -> Broken java platform -> platform folder is pointing to jre subfolder of JDK

Please fix this ASAP, lot of our tests are failing because of this.
Comment 1 Jaroslav Tulach 2008-08-18 16:13:29 UTC 
Since when this is failing?
Comment 2 Tomas Danek 2008-08-18 16:27:03 UTC 
I'm suspicious that ever since simpletests migration. I remember we talked about this offline long time ago (before
simpletests merge), but those days we were interested in rewriting test, not that tests are failing.....now we are
stabilizing tests-that's just why this bug is kind of 'resurrected'..
Comment 3 Jesse Glick 2008-08-18 23:16:10 UTC 
Perhaps an issue with JavaPlatformManager in how it guesses the "default Java platform"?
Comment 4 Tomas Zezula 2008-08-19 07:52:12 UTC 
Default platform doesn't do any detection of default platform, it simply returns the platform the IDE is running on.
The problem is that the tests are started using JRE not JDK.
But as far as I remember Jarda did some change in DefaultPlatform to step up from JRE to JDK.

Comment 5 Jaroslav Tulach 2008-08-19 15:22:05 UTC 
Please transfer the steps to reproduce into some meaningful language. I have no idea what BTD is neither what to 
start:
- run some qa-func. tests from BTD against full IDE
- Tool|Java platforms in tested IDE -> Broken java platform -> platform folder is pointing to jre subfolder of JDK
Comment 6 Tomas Danek 2008-08-19 16:34:52 UTC 
- download and run binary test distribution 
- run whatever test you want, point is just to bring up IDE
- regardless test, in tested IDE choose Tools | Java Platforms

when on Mac the JDK is somewhere else
