Known Issues

To workaround this bug until a fixed JRE build is provided in a patch, please use the following instructions:

  2. Modify Java.ini under C:\Program Files\Borland\Java to include the new JRE version with the following:

    3. [Sun1.6.0_27]
    folder=Sun1.6.0_27
    vendor=Sun
    version=1.6.0_27
    exe=bin\javaw.exe
    dll=bin\client\jvm.dll

  3. Modify StarTeamDatamart.stjava to use the newly installed JRE

    [Java VM]

    name=Sun1.6.0_27

Uninstalling Datamart:
StarTeam Datamart uses InstallAnywhere for installation. If you encounter one of the following error messages when uninstalling this product from a Windows system:

"Can't launch executable. Could not find a suitable Java Virtual Machine on your system."

or

"Windows error 3 occurred while loading the Java VM."

you may need to install JRE 1.6.0_13 or earlier from http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp. A copy of it is also on the StarTeam CD in the Utility folder.
