                 Key: RHDS-168
                 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/RHDS-168
             Project: Red Hat Developer Studio
          Issue Type: Bug
         Environment: WindowsXP SP2
rhds-win32-1.0.0.beta1.jar
Red Hat Developer Studio
Version: 1.0.0 BETA1
Build: 200708290300-nightly
JDK 1.5_08
            Reporter: Aliaksey Nis
            Priority: Critical


In this build during installation provided selection of JRE (in installation step 4). Selected path stored in eclipse.ini.

Problem is - Eclipse (RHDS) don't use this stored path. U can write in eclipse.ini anything, but Eclipse still be loading JRE from registry path:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\JavaSoft\Java Runtime Environment]
"CurrentVersion"="1.5" <---------------------- Loading JRE from here.

So, if in registry JRE version = 1.6, and in eclipse.ini = JRE 1.5, JRE 1.6 will be loaded.

So this new JRE selection in installer is useless.
