Re: [ jEdit-users ] Java 1.7

[FORREST E. <for...@ad...>]

I had the same problem after upgrading to 7u25(64-bit) on Win7.  I noticed that 7u21 was still installed and 7u25 was in a different folder ("C:\Program Files\Java\jre7" as opposed to "C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.7...").  I uninstalled both and reinstalled 7u25 and it works fine now.

Thanks,
Forrest

Looks like the 64-bit version of Java won't run (see above), but the 32-bit version works:
c:\Data>"c:\Program Files (x86)\java\jre7\bin\java.exe" -version java version "1.7.0_25"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_25-b17) Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 23.25-b01, mixed mode, sharing)

And sure enough, running jEdit from the command prompt using the 32-bit version works:
c:\Data>"c:\Program Files (x86)\java\jre7\bin\java.exe" -jar "c:\Program Files\j Edit\jedit.jar"

So I think I'll just uninstall the 64-bit version!

Sorry for the noise--looks like this is a Java problem, not a jEdit problem.

(Are there any implications for jEdit from running 32-bit Java instead of 64-bit?  The max memory is determined by jEdit's command-line parameters, not by the 32/64-bit version, right?)
