RE: IBM i and Java Support - Steve Will

First put a copy of the JRE somewhere, I put it in:

C:\Users\Public\IBM\ClientSolutions\ibm_sdk80

Then change the target in the shortcut to:

C:\Users\Public\IBM\ClientSolutions\Start_Programs\Windows_x86-64\acslaunch_
win-64.exe -vm C:\Users\Public\IBM\ClientSolutions\ibm_sdk80

The magic is the "-vm C:\Users\Public\IBM\ClientSolutions\ibm_sdk80" which
tells ACS where to look for its Java.

Subject: Re: IBM i and Java Support - Steve Will

Been doing this tinkering on a spare Win10 desktop

So I added the JAVA_HOME even though what I read said it was only for the
java development kit.

Now the desktop shortcut to the .hod file works.

But the desktop shortcut to acsbundle.jar does NOT work.  It's asking for an
app.  There is no file association for .jar.

What is the proper thing to put there?  My Win7 desktop associates it with
"Java(TM) Platform SE Binary" which is Oracle.  I right-click the .jar file
and point it to java.exe, but it doesn't "take".
