| <strong>Java > Installed JREs</strong></a> preference page. |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| Click the <strong>Add...</strong> button. The Create JRE dialog opens. |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| In the <strong>JRE type</strong> field, select the type of JRE you want to add from the drop-down list. |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| In the <strong>JRE name</strong> field, type a name for the new JRE definition. All JREs of the same type must have a unique name. |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| In the <strong>JRE home directory</strong> field, type or click <strong>Browse</strong> to select the path to the root |
| directory of the JRE installation (usually the directory containing the <em>bin</em> and <em>lib</em> directories for the JRE). This location is checked |
| automatically to make sure it is a valid path. |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| In the <strong>Javadoc URL</strong> field, type or click <strong>Browse</strong> to select the URL location. The location is |
| used by the Javadoc export wizard as a default value and by the 'Open External Javadoc' action. |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| If you want to use the default libraries and source files for this JRE, select the <strong>Use default system libraries</strong> checkbox. Otherwise, |
| clear it and customize as desired. Source can be attached for the referenced JARs as well. |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| Click <strong>OK</strong> when you are done. |
