Description

[Tom Knight]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.1 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/21.0.1180.79 Safari/537.1

Steps to reproduce:

We use Oracles Deployment Toolkit Script to detect the verison of java a user has installed on their computer. This script has work correctly up until the resent update of Firefox. 




Actual results:

Now the script returns an empty array when deployJava.getJREs() is called.


Expected results:

the script should have returned an array with this value in it 1.6.0_32 for my system that has currently got JRE 1.6.0v32 installed.

Details of the deployJava script can be found here:

Thanks for the report.
Could you attach a minimal testcase (in html e.g.) with this Deployment Toolkit script (with a detection of the Java version in a simple alert box e.g.) so we would be able to test and find a possible regression.

In creating a simple test case I was able to trace it to something that we were doing wrong. 

Sorry for wasting your time.

Kind regards
