David Haslam commented on BD-172:
---------------------------------

If there is a problem with Java 7 then a potential workaround might be to install Java 6 Update 29 in addition. Oracle even mentions that some applications might not work with with Java 7 64-bit, and suggests that it's sensible to have both the 32-bit and 64-bit editions installed. 

When I use my netbook (WinXP 32-bit) to visit java.com, the download still offered is Java 6 Update 29.  Even so, I had already installed Java 7 Update 1 (32-bit) on it.

However, I have never installed BD on my netbook, which is mostly used only while I'm travelling, Yet I could try this too when I get home from our trip to London.

>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: book display
>    Affects Versions: 1.6.1
>         Environment: Windows 7 x64 (fully patched)
> Oracle Java SE Version 7 Update 1 (64-bit)

> Since I installed Java 7 (64-bit) and now have this as the only version of Java SE in my PC, none of the installed books are displayed, even though I can see all their names in dropdown selectors, etc.
> All the books that I have installed are in C:\Users\David\AppData\Roaming\Sword
> and this is correctly specified in BD Preferences | Additional Book locations.
> BD used to work fine with this configuration when I was using Java SE 6 Update 29 (prior to Oracle releasing a 64 bit version 7).
> The nightly build of BD fares no better.
