jre installation page is worse than having no page -------------------------------------------------- Key: RHDS-183 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/RHDS-183 Project: Red Hat Developer Studio Issue Type: Bug Components: installer Affects Versions: 1.0.0.beta1 Reporter: Max Andersen Priority: Blocker Fix For: 1.0.0.beta2 1) I should not be required to select one if i dont' want it hardcoded 2) the text says "Red Hat Developer needs a J..." ..what does that mean ? what should I select ? (I would expect a jre/jdk root folder and then the page would figure out the actual vm/file to choose) 3) it does not prefill with the vm i'm already running with 4) the button is cut of in the layout 5) it does not check if im selecting a gcj or not 6) pressing browse is *slooow* (maybe just java filechooser and my machine...but looks suspicious) 7) I can select any folder and it accepts it (which then ofcourse fails when I launch the ide) 8) it does not test if I acidently selects GCJ java which is what we are trying to avoid ...in short: if you don't know *exactly* what you need to point to (and most users won't) so our users won't get through the installer. My suggestion is that we fix all of the above and provide two options: 1) Use default Java 2) Select alternate java: [ selection field as now, but prefilled with the running one ] And then put a warning if the selected is an GCJ (option 1: check the running vm, option 2: check the selected vm) so users are aware that using GCJ can be an issue; but is not forced do anything if the default one is fine. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
