[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (JBDS-2430) Path to java hardcoded in JBDS

[Denis Golovin (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBDS-2430?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12766602#comment-12766602 ] 

Denis Golovin commented on JBDS-2430:
-------------------------------------

At installation time it uses default java unless installer has been told to use particular one. It is required to let install 32bit JBDS on 64bit platforms and vice versa. To be sure JBDS works correctly after installation, or you would wind up in running 32bit JBDS with default 64bit JVM. Editing ini file is the usual way to change JVM eclipse launcher uses to start eclipse under Windows/linux (Mac OS X is different story).

> After installation of JBDS, it doesn't use java specified in $JAVA_HOME or in $PATH but tries to run with java hardcoded in JBDS configuration file.
> Problem occurs and JBDS don't even start in situation that you want to run JBDS with different java (in different directory) than was present at installation time.
> It would be the best to use java specified in $JAVA_HOME or present on $PATH and avoid this problem.
> Workaround:
> 1. Install java to the same directory as the previous java
> or
> 2. Manually edit jbdevstudio.ini and change path to the java
