DM Smith commented on BD-172:
-----------------------------

For Windows, the reason to install both 32-bit and 64-bit Java is that on Win 7, (both 32-bit and 64-bit) the default IE browser is 32-bit, which requires the 32-bit Java for Java enabled websites. Win 7 64-bit also has IE 64-bit, which requires 64-bit Java. I think the same is true with Firefox, that you need to match the bit level of the app and the Java plugin.

Except possibly for FireBible in FireFox, this is moot when it comes to JSword and the JSword family of applications.

I'm testing now in 64-bit Win 7. I'll report back when I'm done.

One of the changes in Java 7 was that optional settings have changed. Some of them are quite buggy.

>             Project: Bible Desktop
>          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)
>            Reporter: David Haslam

>            Priority: Blocker
>
> 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.
