Description cE10 2003-02-14 16:30:07 UTC 
Standard Java 1.3.1_07 installation on 
Win2000 creates dir JavaSoft/JRE/1.3.1_07...

Platform does not autodetect JDK.

If given -jdkhome and -hotspot switch, NB 
searches for ${jdkhome}/jre/bin/...; jre 
subdir is not available.

If jre subdir is inserted manually, 
everything works. Also verified on WinXP with 
JDK 1.4.1
Comment 1 Richard Gregor 2003-04-08 10:10:07 UTC 
It has nothing to do with installer. Assignig to core.
Comment 2 Marian Mirilovic 2003-04-08 13:35:42 UTC 
Could somebody evaluate this issue? Thanks in advance.
Comment 3 Jesse Glick 2003-04-22 15:43:40 UTC 
Trung, could you assign to whomever maintains runide.exe, if not
yourself? This should be simple to deal with I guess.
Comment 4 _ ttran 2003-04-24 12:55:14 UTC 
I am sure that the reporter doesn't have JDK installed, he tried to
use JRE which of course doesn't work
Comment 5 cE10 2003-04-24 13:37:44 UTC 
On the NB homepage for the platform it says:

"The full SDK distribution is NOT necessary, the JRE is 
sufficient."

But the JRE does not work, because of this subdir error.
Comment 6 _ ttran 2003-04-24 13:52:27 UTC 
Aha, you're talking about Platform not IDE per se.

Well, there is a known issue w/ the Windows launcher #20955
