Specifies the JVMs that you wish this JVMResolution bean to locate. If none are located, then the search for existing JVMs fails, and the resolution continues on with its next step in locating a JVM.
The order in which these JVMs are listed is important. The native launcher attempts to find a matching JVM beginning with the first JVM specified in the list and working its way down. Add JVMs to the list in order of preference, placing the most desirable JVM at the top and the least desirable at the bottom. The arrow buttons enable you to reorder the JVMs once they've been added to the list. Assuming that you did not click the "Full Search" button, these instructions tell the native launcher the order in which to match a JVM on the target machine, and it uses only speed checks to locate a JVM. Speed checks provide an extremely fast method of locating a JVM on the target machine, and you should use speed checks as much as possible. There are cases where speed checks may not work, depending on how your end user installed their existing JVMs. To account for this, it would be prudent to enable full searching for JVMs. To do this, select the JVM in the list which should trigger the full search, and click the "Full Search" button. An icon appears next to that JVM to indicate the full search position. This means that at runtime, the launcher will use speed checks on the JVMs listed up to and including the JVM with the full search icon next to it. Then, if no matching JVM was found, the launcher will begin scanning all local, fixed partitions on the target machine to try to find a matching JVM, starting with the next JVM in the list. It will scan the target machine files only once, caching any matches found for any of the JVMs you have listed. If it finds a match for the first JVM in your list, it will stop the scanning process and return that match. Otherwise, it will complete its scan of the target machine, and return the matched JVM that is highest in the list of JVMs. If you want all of the JVMs in the list speed checked and then full searched if no match is found, select the last JVM entry in the list and click the "Full Search" button.
