| Find IVMInstall with minimum version [message #296193] | Fri, 16 December 2005 11:44  |  | 
| Eclipse User  |  |  |  |  | Hello, 
 I'm writing a plugin to set up new Java projects that meet my company's
 internal standards.  One of the standards is to use Java 5, so I would
 like to ensure that the VM for the project is one that supports Java 5.  I
 cannot seem to find a way to programmatically find which IVMInstalls
 support Java 5.
 
 Right now, I'm just using JavaRuntime.getDefaultJREContainerEntry(), which
 works only if they have Java 5 as their default VM, which isn't the case
 for a lot of folks.
 
 Any suggestions?
 
 Thanks,
 
 Scott

 Try seeing if the IVMInstall instance also implements IVMInstall2.
 IVMInstall2 has a method to return the java version. it may not be able
 to return it, so you check for that case too.
