Info about ImageJ

[Emanuele Alpi]

On my system I have windows 2000 SP4 with JRE 1.5.0 (build 1.5.0_06-b05) downloaded from Sun website.

My questions are about trying to avoid having multiple version of JRE installed on my system:
1) if I install ImageJ 1.34 that comes bundled JRE 1.3.1_13, will I get the two versions of JRE on my system or the installation will "sense" that my system already has a newer version of JRE installed and avoid installing JRE 1.3.1_13?
2) in a case such as mine would it be better to install ImageJ 1.35q that has no JRE bundled?

Thanks

Emanuele

Hi Emanuele,

The version of ImageJ that comes bundled with the JRE does not overwrite
your existing Java installation. You'll find the bundled version in the
jre subfolder of the ImageJ distribution.

Yes, if you install a version without the JRE bundled, it will use the
JRE already installed on your system.

On Windows, you can control which JRE is used by editing the first line
of the ImageJ.cfg file to point to your preferred JRE's javaw executable
(e.g., C:\Program Files\Java\j2re1.4.2_05\bin\javaw.exe).
