Java control panel anomaly

[Roedy Green]

I have both 32-bit and 64-bit JDK 1.7.0_01 installed.

Yet the Java control panel shows only the 64-bit installed. When I
try to manually add the 32 bit version, it immediately disappears.
Previously this did not happen. Both would stick.

It should not be considered an error when the user starts something
already started or stops something already stopped. This applies
to browsers, services, editors... It is inexcusable to
punish the user by requiring some elaborate sequence to atone,
e.g. open the task editor, find and kill some processes.

I thought the Java Control Panel only showed JREs not JDKs. How many JREs
do you have installed?

When you install a JDK, you get 2 JREs. So I would expect to see at
either 2 or 4 JREs, at least one 32 bit and one 64 bit. What I see
are two 64 bit.
