Hi All, I hadn't been testing my RCP app on Windows for a while and a user reported that they installed my program and got a message of "Cannot find Java 1.8 or higher" after double-clicking the .exe. I checked and found that to be the case with both my application as well as a basic Maven Platform application I created with the IDE (Netbean 12.5). I suspect that the .exe has not been updated to detect recent java versions. I tried this with Zulu JDK 16 and 17 and found the message reported with the only way to workaround is to modify the etc/appname.conf file to set jdkhome.
Questions: 1. Are there plans to update the exe's for platform applications on Windows to find newer JDKs? 2. Could someone point me to where the source code is for the .exes? I seemed to remember looking at that years ago but couldn't find it now. 3. Does anyone have recommendations here? I think I might go down the same route as PraxisLive and start bundling a JDK with the built app but it felt kind of odd that Netbeans by default does not generate platform applications capable of finding common JDKs. Any advice appreciated, thanks!
