I must admit I find this comical. For the last nine months (plus) I've had JAVA_HOME set to point at JDK 1.4, ever since I've been using IDEA I've had to manually edit my idea.bat on each release.
Now that IDEA has caught up with the version of Java I use I still have to go and manually edit my idea.bat because the 'rest' of the world wants to use JDK 1.3 Personally I think IDEA should check for JAVA_HOME, this is the standard. It should check for the version *IT* cares about, not the one we think it should care about, i.e. build 633+ should be 1.4, 633- should be 1.3 JDK 1.4 users didn't complain when we had to change it to look for JDK 1.3. Personally I don't think JDK 1.3 users should complain now. Just go and edit the damn file :-) Kevin Jones Developmentor www.develop.com > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of > Kevin Henrikson > Sent: 03 July 2002 22:19 > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: RE: [Eap-bugs] Re: JAVA_HOME in 633 > > > +1 On changing it to IDEA_JAVA_HOME especially when it > requires certain > +versions > of Java while many of us still have to develop in 1.3. > > I also think we should still have the default feature where > if you don't have IDEA_JAVA_HOME set it will default to the > "standard" install dir of the required JDK.
