Description Michael Pellaton

2010-07-07 05:07:10 EDT

Build Identifier: I20100608-0911 (aka 3.6.0)

The 'Installed JRE' preference page should either store it's values immediately or have an 'Apply' button. The problem with the current behaviour, which stores and propagates changes only when the 'OK' button is pressed, is that one cannot add a JRE and configure the execution environments without closing and reopening the preference dialog.

Class: JDKPreferencePage

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. open the Preference dialog (Window > Preferences)
2. navigate to Java > Installed JREs
3. add a new JRE
4. navigate to Java > Installed JREs > Execution Environments
--> The newly added JRE is not offered in the list of 'Compatible JREs'

5. close Preference dialog with a click on the OK button
6. reopen the preference dialog (Window > Preferences)
7. navigate to Java > Installed JREs > Execution Environments
--> The previously added JRE is offered in the list of 'Compatible JREs'

See also bug 237709 and bug 121057 (could also mark as a dup of the latter).

This is a limitation of the preferences page behaviour.  Adding an apply button is already covered under bug 121057.
