Description Peter Lam 2008-11-08 01:52:43 UTC 
Product Version: NetBeans IDE 6.5 (Build 20081107170224)
Java: 1.6.0_07; Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 10.0-b23
System: Windows Vista version 6.0 running on x86; Cp1252; en_US (nb)

If the current default platform is something else than the bundled jython 2.5, doing an auto detect automatically
changed jython 2.5 as the default platform after it's detected, even though another python platform is was the default
platform. I think this change should not be make automatically. 

repro steps:
- make sure you have another python installed on your system
- bring up platform manager
- set the default to the one on the list that is not the bundled jython 2.5
- click on Auto Detect button. After auto detect completes, the bundled jython 2.5 is marked as the default.

Thank you for your report.
This behavior is as designed. When Autodetect is invoked, the previous list of Pythons and Jythons is cleared, and the system attempts to detect using typical locations. When Autodetect has completed, it defaults to the bundled Jython (which will be 2.7 in a few days).

Changing Issue Type to Enhancement.

The workaround is for you to change the default Python in that same dialog.

After further review, this issue is different from Bug#170081 and Bug#153882.

This works as expected. Don't know what we can do to improve this due to limited time and resources. Closing this for now.

Thanks for your evaluation Julien. Reporter, if you think your issue is still valid and needs to be addressed, don't hesitate to reopen it with additional information. Closing for now.
