workbench and java 1.6 ??

[Alex]

Hi everybody,

I recently upgraded from java 1.5 to 1.6 and since then I have
problems using Mathematica workbench. Basically, debugging doesn't work and I
get error messages like the following. Does this mean the workbench
doesn't work with 1.6 and if yes, where in the workbench do I specify
which jre to use ?

Many thanks,

Alex

I find that things work better (under windows) when I use Wolfram
products with the JRE that comes with Mathematica. I have set my
JAVA_HOME environment variable to Mathematica's install. I'm sure
there is a smarter way to do it on Windows, but this is good enough
for me. Of course, Linux is different - my distro has tools that I
know how to use for managing the JREs.

Okay,
I reinstalled the jre that comes with the workbench and everything is
fine.
I deleted it to save space, but this caused problems when I upgraded
to java 1.6

Many thanks,
