Description Raj Mandayam

BUILD : RC2

I have two jdk's d:\java13 & d:\java14
When I launch eclipse I launch it as a Java application i.e
java -verify -cp startup.jar org.eclipse.core.launcher.Main -application
org.eclipse.ui.workbench ...

I launched eclipse with d:\java13\jre\bin\java
then i created my workspace & closed it later.

Then next time i launched it with d:\java14\jre\bin\java when  I noticed that
under installed JRE's it still showed d:\java13....

However if i close eclipse and delete d:\java13 and launch eclipse again with
d:\java14. I see the installed JRE corrected to d:\java14.

So is this a defect or a feature where it continues to use an older JRE inspite
of launching with a new JRE.
