Installing Java 6 and Java 7 at the same time, and how to use 6 for one Java application and 7 for everything else.

Dose anyone has any clue? Can it be done with a simple .bat file or something?

I want to start 1 java app in 6.
Everything else I want to use 7 Environment Variables (SYSTEM PATH).

You normally set in the application code which JRE to run against.

I do my Java programming in NetBeans, you can configure it for each application you write. I believe my default is 7.
