Dear LW People

I have just downloaded and installed Java 1.5 and, like V1.4.x before it, my LW Pro V4.0.8 seems to completely ignore the latest Java applet and continues to use V1.3, the Java applet it came with.

And before anyone suggests it, I did close down LW Pro before installing Java 1.5 and I rebooted my PC afterwards. I then checked the installation, within Control Panel, to ensure V1.5 was properly installed and working. Only then did I restart LW Pro and check to see that it picked up the new installation, as you can see from the attached screen print it has not.

Also, I do not have Java V1.3 installed on my PC, not directly anyway, that came with the default installation of LW Pro.

My request is this; there should be a manual facility, within “Options”, to direct LW to latest Java installation. For example, my installation of Java is on C:\Program Files\Java\Java\jre1.5.0 but I do not have any way of telling this to LW Pro or asking it to do a new search.

Unless I have missed something, all that I can say is that automatic find functions are good if they work as intended or have some sort of manual override function to be employed if they do not.

Therefore, lets have a manual Java configuration facility so that users can point LW Pro to the folder/directory where the latest Java applet is installed.
