Sorry, I can't parse that question. ::: I meant, if JDK is not needed anymore, why at all mentioning JAVA_HOME ? > the messaging seems at least to me a little confusing. Please explain why. As far as I can see, you set JAVA_HOME to a JRE, which is invalid; once you've done that, nothing useful can result. ::: Its all about JDK, if JDK is not needed anymore, why at all mentioning JAVA_HOME to JDK ?
