[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (JBIDE-17234) Cannot launch BrowserSim on Windows 8.1 (32- or 64-bit) w/ JDK 7 or 8

[Nick Boldt (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-17234?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12965998#comment-12965998 ] 

Nick Boldt commented on JBIDE-17234:
------------------------------------

Additional nitpick...

one error message says "BrowserSim failed to start" (no punctuation), while the other says "BrowserSim failed to start with the following error: ..." 

Could they both be amended to use the same "with the following error:" suffix, as it's just better English?

I suppose I could throw together a PR for this...

> System details: [^win81pro-details.png]
> I have tried the following:
> a) install jbdevstudio-product-universal-8.0.0.Beta1-v20140408-2350-B93.jar via commandline, using JDK 7 (32- and 64-bit) and JDK 8 (64-bit). Using the 32-bit JDK, I've both used and omitted the -d32 flag.
> JDK versions: 
> * jdk1.7.0_55 (32- and 64-bit)
> * jdk1.8.0_05 (64-bit)
> b) In Central, click either `Start from scratch > HTML5 Project`, or `Start from a sample > Mobile Applications > kitchensink-html5-mobile`
> c) In Project Explorer, open `src > main > webapp > index.html`
> d) right-click the file and select `Open With > BrowserSim`
> If JBDS was installed in 32-bit mode, you get this error:
> !jbds8b1-win81-failure-to-launch_with_32-bit-jdk7_installed_d32.png!
> If JBDS was installed in 64-bit mode, you get this error:
> !jbds8b1-win81-failure-to-launch_with_32-bit-jdk.png!
