In the current release (0146), Processing may not be able to find the JDK
even if you have one installed. If this happens on your machine, copy the
contents of your JDK installation to the Processing folder, and rename the
folder to "java".

This is a tricky fix because it involves reading different registry keys,
something that must be done carefully (using Unicode) in order to preserve
cross-language compatibility. As such, we are evaluating other options for
the launcher because this involves such a potentially significant change.

fixed for 0149.
