How does TextPad locate the JDK programs

TextPad looks in the registry for the following keys, which are written by the JDK installation program:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\JavaSoft\Java Development Kit\CurrentVersion

Say the value is 1.3, then TextPad will look for the following value:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\JavaSoft\Java Development Kit\1.3\JavaHome

If it is “C:\Java”, then JAVA.EXE should be in C:\Java\bin
