Portable 6.3 + Editors?
When I install the Portable Version 6.3 on a USB-stick it includes the java environment. Question, is it possible to install the Library/Texture Editor on the same stick and will they work with the same java version.

Re: Portable 6.3 + Editors?
Yes, you may reuse the Java environment included in the Portable version to run editors if needed: find in the jre folder the java or javaw executable of Java, and run it in a command followed by -jar and the path to the JAR executable file of the editor.
Using a cmd or Terminal window, this should take a few seconds if you follow these instructions: 1. Drag and drop the java or javaw executable in the cmd or Terminal window to copy its full path in it 2. Type a space, -jar and another space 3. Drag and drop the icon of the JAR executable file in the cmd or Terminal window to copy its full path in it 4. Type <Enter>
If you want to reuse the same command often, consider saving it in a command file (.bat under Windows).
