Description dlipin 2007-04-09 12:37:36 UTC
For now there is no possibility to restrict beta/rc/ea versions of the jdk/jre.
This should be improved to avoid running the engine on the poor quality java.

Assigned to new owner.
Comment 2 Libor Fischmeistr 2013-01-09 09:32:01 UTC
These Java versions are marked as (non-final) in installer and are sorted at the end of the list of all available JDKs. Maybe, there should be some warning when choosing the non-final version.
