Description leejk421 2003-06-27 12:18:10 UTC 
A recent problem with the installer detecting and using 
the wrong JDK for running the IDE on machines with 
multiple JDK's has brought this up. None of the JDK's 
where in the machine's %PATH%, however the installer 
detected and used the older JDK on the machine which 
caused the Diff functionality in the IDE to not work. This 
misled us to think that something was wrong with the IDE, 
but it was the fact that it was running under the wrong 
JDK (1.3.0_02.

There should be a way built into the installer to allow 
the user to choose which JDK the IDE will run in, or at 
least the installer should always choose the latest JDK 
found on the machine.

A JDK selection panel has been added to the installer.
