You are a crazy man! That is crazy talk :) And it works very well. This has been reliable on my PCs, laptops and our Win 2008/2012 AR/MT servers for years (even used it on the WWRUG server). Every installer that asks for Java (JRE or JDK) we point to the generic symlink and then we just keep the symlink updated.
Here is an example of a generic 'jre' and 'jdk' (junction) symlink pointing to the version specific directories. Here is an example command for Windows to create a symlink named 'jre' if you want to try it out (of course adjust paths as necessary). mklink /J "C:\Program Files\Java\jre" "C:\Program Files\Java\jre7" Here is some info on mklink: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/278262-mklink-create-use-links-windows.html Jason On Thu, Feb 5, 2015 at 8:27 AM, Rick Westbrock <[email protected]> wrote: > Sandra- > > To prevent that problem during future Java upgrades what I've done in the > past is create a symlink or shortcut named "java" that points to the > current java install folder.
