Michelle Murray commented on JBIDE-17229:
-----------------------------------------

One use case related to JavaFX and SWT WebKit might be that RHEL users run the IDE with OpenJDK but want to use Oracle JRE to run BrowserSim to can leverage JavaFX web engine. This seems like a small and unlikely use case. All other OS are tied to either Oracle or OpenJDK; RHEL is the only one with overlap.

> The preference to select a JRE with which to run BrowserSim was introduced so that 64-bit Windows users could run the IDE as 64-bit but use BrowserSim in 32-bit (since Apple Safari was only available as 32-bit for Windows).
> Now there is JavaFX option for 32-bit and 64-bit Windows users to run BrowserSIm. So 64-bit Windows users no longer need to install 32-bit Apple Safari and run BrowserSim 32-bit while IDE runs in 64-bit.
> So is there a use case any longer for users to be able to set a preference for a different JRE from the one running the IDE?
