[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (JBDS-3111) Improve error for default java on OS X
[
https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBDS-3111?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin....
]
Martin Malina updated JBDS-3111:
--------------------------------
Description:
This is a follow up of JBDS-3014.
When you double click the installer in Finder on OS X, the default java located in
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/JavaAppletPlugin.plugin/Contents/Home will now be rejected with
an error because apparently that is just the JRE, not JDK.

But the error is a bit vague.
Max suggested this:
{quote}
Should say something like JDK does not work, need to be a full JDK Java 7 or higher or
similar if user point to a broken jdk.
and if the folder does not contain anything it should not make it sound that a JDK is
actually there
{quote}
Even better, we could find the location of real JDK and offer that first.
