ARCGISRUNTIMESDKJAVA_1_0 environment variable not set up when installing JAVA SDK

Question

I installed the Java Runtime SDK 10.1 pre-release on Windows 7 and this "ARCGISRUNTIMESDKJAVA_1_0" environment variable did not get set up at all.

All it did was keep me from running the samples right out of the box from the shortcut put in the programs menu. It is a minor nuisance once I recognized it. I set one up and the sample jar ran fine after that.

It happened to a coworker as well. So it is not an isolated case, but just in case anyone else runs into it. Just set the variable to your path. Mine was "C:\Program Files (x86)\ArcGIS SDKs\Java1.0"

I don't know if it was intentional or not (i.e., by design) to not set that. I deduced it from the error running the jar via the java -jar <jar filename> at a command/shell prompt.

Hope that helps someone looking for answers... Does this belong in a different forum? (please feel free to move it) I never can tell, I rarely post.

On Windows, after install the Java Runtime SDK, you may need to reboot the system before creating a Runtime SDK project. This will make sure the ARCGISRUNTIMESDKJAVA_1_0 will be added to the project environment variables list.

Correct! I submitted a support incident report (1046518) through my customer portal and was replied to as this being a bug and that the rep will report it. So, I wondered if the final release addressed it (the post is still in "Assigned" state).

My apologies, Carlos.
Yes, this has been addressed at Final. We need to update the status on our end.

As for this, after install, you need to manually source the init_sdk_java.sh script. Are you saying that this script still doesn't set up your env and paths correctly?
Thanks for clarification.
