Question About Java
I'm currently running SH3D with the installer version, with the Java included, on an XP machine. The latest version of Java (8) will not run on XP, but I think I can find Java 7.
Is there any advantage to installing Java 7 over using the included Java with the installer?

Re: Question About Java
From this comment of Oracle and Java history that didn't break compatibility from version to version, I don't think you'll run any problem.

Do you mean with the Java included with the SH3D installer, as Hansmex said would work fine?
Another quick question (well, two actually ). It looks like I have 3 versions of the Java that was installed with the different versions/updates of the installer, as shown in this screenshot.
Is all 3 of those directories/installs necessary? Would it be advantages for me to uninstall SH3D and reinstall the 5.1 version?

Re: Question About Java
By the way, Hans, thanks for your help, but note that Hawk is under Windows where your experience under Linux might not always apply, just because install procedures are completely different under Windows, Mac OS X and Linux.

Re: Question About Java
Version 5.0 brought the ability to add and remove points to a room, but the Advanced Editing plug-in brings many other features!

Re: Question About Java
OK! Thanks!
I took some screenshots of the various menus before uninstalling and after reinstall it looks like I'm missing a few options.
Under the Edit menu I'm missing Rotate, Resize, Move and Flip. Under the Furniture menu I'm missing Elevation. Under the Plan menu I'm missing Edit Room Points.
I've installed the calcualteWalls plugin and the CopyAsNewFurniture plugin and before uninstalling I also had the AdvancedEditng plugin installed (before I read that it isn't needed), which I don't now.
I guess I installed some other plugin that gave me the above options but I can't remember which one, or ones.
I downloaded the AdvancedRenderingClassic and Mini plugins but I don't believe I ever installed them as they weren't shown in the plugins folder.
I should have paid closer attention before.
Sorry if I'm getting a bit off-topic for this thread.
