RE: IBM i and Java Support - Steve Will

Solved:

First make sure the downloaded and expanded JRE/JDK is in a directory that
can be found at boot time. IE: "C:\java\....."

Then make sure to add the JAVA_HOME and/or JRE_HOME environment variables
Then make sure to alter the PATH environment variable to include the java
directory.

Reboot

Now the "java -version" will work.

I get that there is no windows installation script for this so you
have to set the path to the jre.

I'm pretty sure that if you put the jre directory in the directory you have
ACS in, the native launcher programs will use that JRE automatically.

If I CD into the .bin directory where the java.exe lives and run "java
-version" it just hangs.

Any thoughts on that

Antivirus software, maybe? Maybe windows is asking if it's OK to run the
program?

I'm riding 615 miles (Yes, you read that right) in the American Diabetes

advocacy, and awareness. You can make a tax-deductible donation to my ride

I may have diabetes, but diabetes doesn't have me!
