C:\Users\t>java -version
java version "1.8.0_381"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_381-b09)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 25.381-b09, mixed mode, sharing)

The problem I have is that I'm trying to write an application in Java code for TOAW to enable the player to change the colors of his units easily by using a colorpicker kind of thingie and the very latest version of Java is now up to like 17 or is it 20 now? At any rate I'd rather use the newer version of Java to write my application in but when I install the newer version all of a sudden I can't run Tracker any longer.

So my question is how do I get a copy of the files like in a zip file that I can install manually and adjust my PATH environment variable to include the newer version ( I suppose that's all you gotta do ) since ORACLE doesn't supply java in that format ( as far as I know ). Anybody got a good idea or two?

EDIT: I found an ORACLE file that was version 20 and it came as a zip file so I downloaded it and installed it in it's own directory and modified my PATH to put it's path first before the 1.6's path and now Tracker won't run. So I have to adjust the PATH to which version of Java I want to use. I don't know of a good workaround for this.

Maybe it's just a matter of having the batch file refresh the PATH to the one with the JAVA version you want so it's at the top of the list. With the other version just below it. If so it'll be a piece of cake. Thank you very much dude.

edit> reinstalled, but this time I used Seabee to build the shortcut and the lag was gone. Nice that this worked, but anyone new to the game is going to be sorely disappointed that it's so laggy straight off the update and requires 2nd hand software to properly setup.
