Len DiMaggio commented on JBDS-3689:
------------------------------------

FYI - A user can easily get into this situation by simply updating their JDK (yum update, etc.) - if the path changes to reflect the updated version number.

> Hello, installed 9.1.0.Beta2 and starting it after some fedora update, yielded an error that JDK is not found. With no help how to fix.
> Searching over the internet I found 
> https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_JBoss_Developer_Studio/7.1/html/Migration_Guide/Change_the_Path_of_the_JVM.html
> But it makes much more sense to let the user select a different location. Or at least point user at the ini file to be updated. Currently user is left wondering why JBDS fails to start when system has a perfectly working JDK installed on standard location. My first thought was that for some reason JBDS installation broke.
