FULL PRODUCT VERSION : From 8u11. Until 8u5, it worked correctry. ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION : Windows 8.1 x86_64 A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM : We used to use USER_JPI_PROFILE environment variable to switch user profile for Java Web Start. Please see also, bug:6611382 http://bugs.java.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6611382 Until 8u5, it worked as expected, but from 8u11 (including 8u20), it doesn't work anymore. Specifying USER_JPI_PROFILE environment variable seems to have no meaning at all. REGRESSION. Last worked in version 8u5 STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM : 1. Set USER_JPI_PROFILE to some directory 2. Start some Java Web Start application. EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR : EXPECTED - 3. Check if directory %USER_JPI_PROFILE%\Sun\Java\Deployment is created and deployment.properties file is created in the directory. (expected behavior) ACTUAL - %USER_JPI_PROFILE%\Sun\Java\Deployment directory is not created. REPRODUCIBILITY : This bug can be reproduced always.
