Question

Can I control which version of Java CatDV uses? (Windows)

Answer

If you're a developer, or otherwise need to work with different versions of Java, you can control which JVM (Java virtual machine) CatDV uses in two ways (under Windows). If you rename "CatDV.exe" to something like "CatDV [JRE1.4.2].exe" it will attempt to use that JRE or JDK version. Alternatively, you can edit your registry and create an entry HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\cdvfile\javaPath pointing to the version of javaw.exe you want to use.

You can increase the amount of memory CatDV will use under Windows in a similar way, by renaming "CatDV.exe" to "CatDV {256m}.exe", for example, or by creating a registry entry HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\cdvfile\jvmArgs entry with a value of "-Xmx256m".
