I do :-)

I found the .conf file too and that does fix the dialog problem.

I followed John's advice (hint maybe) and added the existing Java to the 
platforms.  I discovered that the Default java installation does not 
have JavaFX for some reason but one can install the same java 
installation again (makes no sense to me).  But you can't delete the 
Default(?)

Thanks Eric and John
