Hello I have an application where standalone jython (jython.jar) is used in a java environment. So I have "installed" jython in the following way: ,---- | ~/Local$ java -jar jython_installer-2.5.1.jar --console | Welcome to Jython ! | | ...snip... | | The following installation types are available: | 1. All (everything, including sources) | 2. Standard (core, library modules, demos and examples | 3. Minimum (core) | 9. Standalone (a single, executable .jar) | Please select the installation type [ 1 /2/3/9] >>> 9 | Please enter the target directory >>> jython_2.5.1 | Unable to find directory /home/rene/Local/jython_2.5.1, | create it ? [Y/n] >>> `---- Everything is clear until now.... But the next question from the installer is confusing me: ,---- | Please enter the java home directory (empty for using the current | java runtime) >>> `---- What does this mean in a standalone installation? For what reason is the java home directory used with the standalone installation? Or in other words... Is it possible to use the *same* standole .jar file on different operating systems (e.g. Windows and Linux) when the java runtime is the same on every system? Is it possible to use the *same* standalone .jar file on different operating systems (e.g. Windows and Linux) when the java runtimes are *not* the same on every system? Thank you for your patience. Kind regards René |

I use the same jar on any OS, because the JAR is 100% pure Java implementation, and has no OS/platform specific components to it. This looks like the system is a little confused about where your java components are.
