[kepler-dev] windows path

[Faraaz Sareshwala]

Oh I see what you mean. You may be able to do that with the Path again. I've
never tried to do it in Windows but in Linux you can specify a JAVA_HOME
environment variable which points to the folder you want to use for Java.
Windows is probably similar so give that a try.

Let me know how it goes :).
