Description zohar 2001-12-25 05:52:06 UTC 
In the 'process' field it uses '{jdk.home}', but in the 'Argument Key' I could 
only find '{java.home} '

Comment 2 Tomas Hurka 2002-01-03 14:09:54 UTC 
See also issue #11154. There is description of {jdk.home}
Comment 3 John Jullion-ceccarelli 2002-01-11 00:00:59 UTC 
So do you need an explanation of the difference between {jdk.home} 
and {java.home} in the compiling section of the usersguide? 
Reassigning to Gail Chappell, the docs writer for compiling.

What's the status of this issue ? Please evaluate/close/fix.
Comment 5 Gail Chappell 2002-02-26 21:27:29 UTC 
I believe this bug is filed against the text in the dialog box under
the Argument Key (and not on the wording in the online help).

Based on the description in bug 11154, it looks like: 

{jdk.home}= JDK installation directory

should be changed to:

{jdk.home}= JDK installation directory
{java.home}= JDK installation directory or JRE installation directory
Comment 6 Svata Dedic 2002-03-22 15:43:29 UTC 
I corrected the description; the {jdk.home} is actually correct, since
the compiler comes with the JDK, not JRE.
