-----------------------------------

             Summary: JBDS will not start with java 6 - a warning should be displayed during installation
                 Key: JBDS-2995
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBDS-2995
             Project: Developer Studio (JBoss Developer Studio)
          Issue Type: Bug
      Security Level: Public (Everyone can see)
          Components: installer
    Affects Versions: 8.0.0.Beta1
         Environment: JBDS 8.0.0.Beta1a B82
OS X Mavericks
            Reporter: Martin Malina


We should warn users when they select Java 6 during JBDS installation. Or perhaps even prohibit them from selecting it?

I just tried it and I was able to install JBDS, but it them wouldn't start - it shows the splash screen for a few seconds and then stops without any warning or error.

This is related to JBDS-2984 - there we removed the mention that java 6 is supported.

Here I would suggest to show a red warning once java 6 is selected - similar to how we warn people when they select java 8 in JBDS 7.1.1 installer.
