Java app Ebola (ebook downloader)

I am working on Ebola, a (german) downloader for free ebooks.
It need Java to work as it launches Cextra to download ebooks from Zeno.

Ebola launches Cextra as 

java -jar cextra.jar ...

so my question is this:
Does anyone know how I could tell Ebola to look for Java in CommonFiles?

JAVA_HOME?

You could try JAVA_HOME. Or you could include it in the path.

Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!

Thanks

I will try JAVA_HOME. I cant really include it in a path as one app launches the other. Or did I get you wrong?

Sure You Can

You can define the path in PAL just like an env var. Redefine PATH to include the CommonFiles\Java directory before the rest of the PATH. It'll get passed on when one app calls the other.
