Warn about wrong Java version [message #514045]

I have an RCP app that requires Java 6. How can I get it to display a
nice dialog box with a human-readable error message if it detects it is
trying to start on Java 5? Now I just get a log containing a list of all
unresolved bundles, which is not very nice.

TIA,
J.-P.

Hi J-P,

Just fix it: Include your jvm into your RCP to avoid this. You can specify
this in the product configuration.

Bundling a whole JRE is a pain. I hate to have several java apps, each
bringing their own JRE. Isn't there an easy to display a user-friendly
warning when the wrong JRE is being used?

And if not: how exactly do I tell my RCP app to use the JRE at
/my/custom/path/to/java? For Eclipse, I'd do it in eclipse.ini, but I
have no such file in my final RCP app.

Thanks,
J.-P.

Create a .ini file with the same name as your application executable,
e.g., "application.ini", and place it at the same directory.

Thanks Alex! I was missing the part about the same name as the executable.
