> Using a default eclipse install, pointing to a default EAP 6.1 (and probably any other server) it chooses:
> "Default JRE for JavaSE-1.6" as its JRE.
> Even though I have an Java SE installed as the default runtime for this JRE.
> Then the wizard tells me:
> "This runtime type requries a JDK for launching a server. We cannot guarantee the default virtual machine for this execution environment is a JDK".
> and its cut off in the middle of the last line.
> A) why not choose the JDK execution environment when one is there ?
> B) since the execution environment actually points to a JDK the warning is not correct
> C) The text is hard to grok.
> - the title says server but text says runtime
> - the warning shows up for the default behavior 
> - use "a server" when it is a specific one
>  suggestion for simplification:
> "The server runtime requires a JDK to launch. 'Default JRE for JavaSE-1.6' does not look like a JDK"
> ...actually - this is just as horrible.
> If we cannot detect the various execution environments are a JDK reliably we shouldn't warn at this time. It is confusing.
> How come Java 7 execution environment is detectable as a JDK but the Default JRE is not ?
