Multiple Java JDK Functionality

Hi,

A user has requested access to multiple version of Java (6 thru 9) to enable them to use legacy programs.

I've packaged each version within the same stack under "C:\Program Files\Java\<Java Version>".

How can the user now utilise each version of Java with it's respective application without Windows defaulting to one of the versions only?

Is it worth writing some bat files to force the environmental variables to change the Java version prior to launching said application?

Thanks

How does this work natively on a Windows OS (outside of App Volumes)? If we know of a way to do this (say using batch script), we can try the same with AppStack.

We've decided to leave the task for the time being, and may allow users to create Writable Volumes in the interim.
