Improve installer error message when Java Applet Plug-in selected as JVM on Mac OS X ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Key: JBDS-3111 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBDS-3111 Project: Developer Studio (JBoss Developer Studio) Issue Type: Enhancement Components: installer Affects Versions: 8.0.0.Beta3 Reporter: Martin Malina Assignee: Denis Golovin Priority: Minor Fix For: 8.0.0.CR2 Attachments: default-java.png 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. !default-java.png! 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.
