Setting up Java Correctly on old 7.0 NWDS

[former_member540174]

We are trying to set up an old XP machine in order to support our old portal.  We haven't done the setup in years and we missed something.  The build's fail with an error Build stopped due to an error: Unable to find a javac compiler;

WIKI that I found noted that the JRE was chosen instead of JDK.  I'm sure someone with a working set up can see where we went wrong.

Here is the classpath variables - the JRE_SRCROOT is troubling to me

Here is the installed JRE

Do you see where we went wrong?

Hi,

simply change the NWDS shortcut icon (right click on it --> properties) in the way that you add

-vm "<your JDK142 location>\bin\javaw.exe"

If you start up NWDS this way then it'll use that JDK.

Indeed JRE is not supported. What is also important, it has to be JDK142 and 32bit version.
