[ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-23893?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugi... ] Rob Stryker commented on JBIDE-23893: ------------------------------------- The problem here is that the runtime detection API is very much filesystem / folder oriented. You pick a folder and it scans deep, and asks each runtime detector to 'find' a runtime in each folder. So the driver is the filesystem tree, and then it asks the rt detectors. It doesn't stop when it finds one runtime. It will keep scanning for others. This will become very inefficient if it still tries to scan the entire fs or folder structure of a user's home directory. But to reverse the logic would be a huge API change. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.2.3#72005)
