Re: IBM i and Java Support - Steve Will

Since this thread started I've just been thru my Win10 machine and 
cleaned out all the old java and installed IBM's free version.

Had to clean any java references from the registry - deleted some javaws 
stuff from C:\windows\system32

Added new location to Path Environment variable and JAVA_HOME - just 
loaded my Eclipse IDE and now it works.

Java home = C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk8u192-b12\bin

Path contains C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk8u192-b12\bin for user and 
system - make sure you remove any old references to java that you have 
removed.

Make sure if you are using eclipse that you have 32bit jdk and 32bit 
java (otherwise you will get JNI errors)

Good luck and goodbye Oracle..
