Description

Starting NB9 on Windows 7 says it cannot find JDK, even with JAVA_HOME set correctly.  JDK is version 10.0.2.  A dialog pops up instead suggesting starting with "-jdkhome" option.

 

Work-around:  Edit shortcut to add "-jdkhome PATH_TO_JDK" to command line.

 

Requested fix: Have NB fall back to using JAVA_HOME.
