fredand44 Posted May 12, 2009 Report Share Posted May 12, 2009 Hello!(Really glad I found this forum for Windows-problems)I got a computer at work Windows XP with Internet explorer 6.029...I use this for programming in Java.Right now I switch between 2 projects.One project require Java 1.4 and Weblogic (8.1.4), the other require Java 1.6 and JBoss 5.0Right now I use java 1.6 in the system.The command java -version gives me java 1.6...I compile with maven and there it is easy to change version of java with a JAVA_HOME-variable without effect the installed now present version with java.Unfortenately Internet Explorer seems to use the OSIn the Weblogic adminconsole there is an applet probably written for 1.4 and that one runs fine in IE.In the JBoss adminconsole there is an other applet probably written for 1.5 or higher, this one does not run in IE.With Firefox both runs fine and since firefox seems to use Java 1.6The problem seems to be that IE sticks to Java 1.4. I guess 1.4 has been installed into the system some time.So now is the question how can I tell IE to use Java 1.6?In the java console panel (for 1.6) I have told both that both IE and firefox should use this jre, but as I said it seems like it doed not effect IE.One strange thing is that I had a setteing in IE under Internet Options -> Advanced there was a option to use 1.6, but after som toggle with it it dissapare.So if any one got any idea how to set the jre for IE to use please let me know.Best regardsFredrik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ɹəuəllıʍ ʇɐb Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 Welcome to the Windows Forum.I have never quite understood why people create Java apps that require a specific, old version of Java. My company has an application that requires something like Java 1.3.37...Sun has just recently given up the co-existence of multiple Java (or JRE) versions on the same system. Since 1.6.10, all new versions will replace the existing version.So, wouldn't it just be easier if your 1.4 application would just use 1.6?

fredand44 Posted May 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 Hello!Thanks for reply!The problem now is that my IE seems stuck with using 1.4 of java.What I want is to tell my IE to use and only use 1.6 java.But How do I change it?The applet is written by Jboss (a navigation tree in a adminconsole) but it will not start in IE.It works fine in firefox since that one uses 1.6.So if you know how tell IE to use a certaion jre please let me know!Best regardsFredrik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
