Description:
After installing MT, JVM was not found although added to path and registry keys seemed ok (can provide detailed if requried).
Alternatively moved to using -jvm switch. Found that jvm switch syntax is to specify the full DLL path including filename and leave out only the .dll extension:

"C:\Program Files\mysql\MySQL Migration Toolkit 1.0\MySQLMigrationTool.exe" -jvm "C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0_04\bin\client\jvm"

This seems highly unusual and was only discovered through using filemon and regmon.

Also: Would be nice if the "List Bugs" "Report Bug" functionality was available inside the app. 

How to repeat:
Use -jvm switch if java not automatically detected

Could you check if that is still true for the latest release? Thanks
