Windows Vista and Java

Do you know which version of Java is compatible with Windows Vista? I’ve seen only mixed information on the internet. We are finding that certain default Java code in version 1.5.0_12 is not functioning with the Vista image.

For example, our application uses System.getProperty("os.name"); to get the value “Windows XP” when running in XP; however, when running the Vista image, the code returns the value “Windows NT (unknown)”.

Any help you can provide would be great.

1.5 runs fine on Vista. What did you expect the os.name to be for Vista?

Hi,

I am expecting that the OS name that will be displayed is "Windows Vista" and not "Windows NT (unknown)"

Thanks

Not sure if the bug has been fixed yet for 1.5_12.
