Hello,

&nbsp;is it possible to use %JAVA\_HOME% variable in "JDK Home Path" and "Selected JDK Class Paths"?

&nbsp;This way I don't need to make FinalBuilder changes when a new release comes out.

&nbsp;Thanks!

Dave

Hi Dave,   
  
 I have added this request and a generalised version of it (use environment variables in options pages). I am not sure how simple this would be, yet I can see how useful this would be in keeping FinalBuilder options current.
