Not showing up in Platform's Updater/AppDirectory 3b2l30

jdkPortable isn't appearing in the Platform's Updater/AppDirectory.

RE: Not showing up in Platform's Updater/AppDirectory 336o1s

Probably because the 64-bit jdkPortable isn't ready yet (technical reasons).

And maybe also because the src.zip (needed for function definition browsing in IDE's) doesn't currently get copied into jdkPortable.

Updater Bug 4d2i73

There's a bug in the updater that causes icons to show for the wrong apps when it's added to the app store at the moment. I'm working on a fix. Until then, manual install is required. It's not a huge deal as no official apps use the JDK yet.

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

Not recognised by IntelliJ out-of-the box 4x5240

It is great to see that the JDK evolved to a portable app, but the version is not recognised by IntelliJ as valid JDK yet. It seems that some *.pack files need to be extracted first. After running (source: https://www.whitebyte.info/programming/java/how-to-install-a-portable-jd...)
for /R %f in (.\*.pack) do @"%cd%\bin\unpack200" -r -v -l "" "%f" "%~pf%~nf.jar"
inside the JDK directory it is recognised as valid JDK installation by IntelliJ. Maybe it would be a good idea to do this step already in the portable application.

Release announcement really isn't the best place to report bugs. 3l4x1q

The proper thing to do would be to make a new thread with a title that starts with "[Bug]". This way it'll show up on the Open Bugs page.
In this case, I've made a report for this bug here: https://portableapps.isosite.org/node/56708

Edit: Today's release fixes this.
