Java: New Method on Windows for Locating the JVM

Starting in Release 7707/82, the server on Windows internally searches the Windows registry for the highest applicable installed Java JDK or JRE (32-bit versus 64-bit, release level 1.7 or higher, and in the order JDK then JRE) and internally adjusts the dll load path of the server. This means there is no longer a reason (on Windows) to explicitly set Java variables (JDK_HOME or JAVA_HOME) at a machine level or in EDACONF bin\edaenv.cfg unless a specific other release is desired.

For non-Windows platforms, Java access methods remain unchanged (see the Server Installation manual for platform specific instructions).
