    <p>Our company recently upgraded from Windows XP to Windows 7 Enterprise. The JDK installation is no longer setting <em>user.home</em> to the full path of the user directory, but instead is setting user.home to <code>%userprofile%</code>. This is causing a lot of issues with applications such as Eclipse, Maven, etc. I now have to set -Duser.home in the JVM for each application. Has anyone else experienced this? Is there a fix for this? Would this be related to the installation of Windows 7 Enterprise? I have tried the 1.5 JDK and the 1.6 JDK.</p> <p>Here is the list of properties. Note user.home:</p> <pre><code>-- listing properties -- java.runtime.name=Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment sun.boot.library.path=C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin java.vm.version=16.0-b13 java.vm.vendor=Sun Microsystems Inc. java.vendor.url=http://java.sun.com/ path.separator=; java.vm.name=Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM file.encoding.pkg=sun.io user.country=US sun.java.launcher=SUN_STANDARD sun.os.patch.level= java.vm.specification.name=Java Virtual Machine Specification user.dir=C:\Users\politesp\Desktop java.runtime.version=1.6.0_18-b07 java.awt.graphicsenv=sun.awt.Win32GraphicsEnvironment java.endorsed.dirs=C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\lib\endorsed os.arch=x86 java.io.tmpdir=C:\Users\politesp\AppData\Local\Temp\ line.separator= java.vm.specification.vendor=Sun Microsystems Inc. user.variant= os.name=Windows 7 sun.jnu.encoding=Cp1252 java.library.path=C:\WINDOWS\system32;.;C:\WINDOWS\Sun\... java.specification.name=Java Platform API Specification java.class.version=50.0 sun.management.compiler=HotSpot Client Compiler os.version=6.1 user.home=%userprofile% user.timezone= java.awt.printerjob=sun.awt.windows.WPrinterJob file.encoding=Cp1252 java.specification.version=1.6 user.name=politesp java.class.path=. java.vm.specification.version=1.0 sun.arch.data.model=32 java.home=C:\Program Files\Java\jre6 java.specification.vendor=Sun Microsystems Inc. user.language=en awt.toolkit=sun.awt.windows.WToolkit java.vm.info=mixed mode, sharing java.version=1.6.0_18 java.ext.dirs=C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\lib\ext;C:... sun.boot.class.path=C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\lib\resour... java.vendor=Sun Microsystems Inc. file.separator=\ java.vendor.url.bug=http://java.sun.com/cgi-bin/bugreport... sun.cpu.endian=little sun.io.unicode.encoding=UnicodeLittle sun.desktop=windows sun.cpu.isalist=pentium_pro+mmx pentium_pro pentium+m... </code></pre> <p><strong>Update:</strong></p> <p>Using the link to the bug from Andreas_D I discovered:</p> <p>The value of <code>HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders\Desktop</code> is <strong>%userprofile%\Desktop</strong> on my installation of Windows 7 Enterprise.</p> <p>When I change the value of this key to <code>C:\Users\politesp\Desktop</code>, my user.home resolves correctly.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
