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!
Steven
