[Squirrel-sql-users] Can't even install Squirrel-2.4 if JAVA_HOME not set to Java 5

[Karr, D. <dav...@wa...>]

I filed a bug about this, but I figured I'd write a note about this here
also.

Squirrel-2.4 requires Java 5.  That's fine.  However, it should be
understood that there will be a transition period where people are using
both JDK 1.4.2 and Java 5, and they require JDK 1.4.2 for their main
work, but use Java 5 for some tools.  Eclipse works very well this way.
My JAVA_HOME is set for JDK 1.4.2, and I specify the Java 5 runtime on
the Eclipse command line.  I can't even install Squirrel-2.4, much less
use it, even though I have Java 5 installed.

The installer should be changed to prompt the user for a Java 5 runtime
directory path, if JAVA_HOME doesn't point to one.  From that, the run
scripts should use that Java 5 runtime.
