Description

Suggestion

I expect to be able to browse for a JDK and not have to manually type some json.

Use Cases

What do you want to use this for?

Setting up a new runtime using a JDK that is extracted locally not with an installer

What shortcomings exist with current approaches?

I don't like json and I shouldn't have to type out directory name when this use case has been done with a GUI for the last 2 decades.

Examples

  • Download and extract a JDK
  • Go to Configure Runtime
  • Click a button that brings up a filesystem browser
  • Select the directory of the JDK
