Description Mark Evenson 2006-05-18 16:30:27 UTC

The Netbeans Enterprise Pack EA [[1]] installer fails to recognize the Diablo 1.5.0  port as being a JVM greater than "Update 1".  The Enterprise Pack installer is inspecting the first string in the stdout of a "java -version" command.  It is expecting a value of the form "1.5.0_nn" where "nn" corresponds to the JDK Update Level.  So the installer refuses to proceed

It is not clear if the output of "java -version" is a part of the comptability tests (I suspect it isn`t)

But it would seem to be a good idea to change the output of "java -version" to conform to what the Netbeans installer expects.

This has been filed as issue 76562 with Netbeans [[2]].

Discussion has occurred on the nbusers mailing list [[3]]

I don't believe that the Foundation are likely to fund any further Diablo 
releases, so I don't see any value in leaving this PR open.  I'm sorry it 
has sat for so long.
