------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wed Feb 22 01:40:10 -0800 2006 ------- Thanks for the link, that was helpful. After discussing this problem internally we have come to the conclusion that there is currently no elegant and non – complex solution. The initial goal was to set the environment variable only if the IBM JDK is selected and the platform is Linux on PPC. To find out what JDK is selected one would use our Java framework API and ideally one would place the code in javaldx. However, there is no easy solution to parse the output of javaldx, which would then countain the paths to some particular directories of the JRE installation AND environment variables. We have to bear in mind, that the script must use a subset of expressions which is available to the majority of shells, and that starting additional executables costs startup time. Another idea would be to have a kind of preloader, like the soffice.exe of the windows version. That is one would bloat up javaldx to contain all other stuff which is otherwise contained in the script and have it execute the soffice.bin. Then javaldx could set environment variables for the child process. However, this increases complexity of javaldx very much. So currently I would like to stick to the solution, that you have already implemented - just setting the environment variable in the script dependent on the current platform. This does not do any harm in case a different JRE is selected, adds very little complexity and hardly costs startup performance. If the demand comes up to do more changes to the environment for particular JREs then we have to reevaluate this. Until then I would like to set this issue to wontfix. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
