How to set up a JAVA_HOME based JRE ? [message #244532] Thu, 14 June 2007 17:51 Go to next message

Dear newsgroup readers

I am struggling with the configuration of a Java Application launcher;

I would like to link the "Runtime JRE" to ${env:JAVA_HOME}, which is
predefined in the shell eclipse itself was started in and
which is about being promoted to the shell the launcher will run its
configuration in. - Similar to the possibilites to resolve arguments on
promoted environment variables under the Arguments tab.

I tried to set up a JAVA_HOME based JRE, by trying to introduce an
"Installed JRE" based on ${env:JAVA_HOME} with no success neither, as
"Installed JREs" are supposed to be referenced by absolute path.

How can I setup a Java Application launcher that has ist JRE based on
${env:JAVA_HOME} ? This seems currently impossible. Does anyone know of
any plans of supporting such a need ? Or some means of achieving it
today ?

Thanks for your replies, Christian.
