Does java webstart always use the latest java version installed on your computer?

Question

I have several versions of Java installed:

I would like to tell Java webstart to use a specific version, but I can't find where to make this config change.

Does anyone know if it always just uses the latest version on your computer (mine is using 1.8.0_45)? Or even better, does anyone know how to change what version it uses?

Thanks!

You can put

<resources>
    <java version="1.7*"/>

under resources section in the jnpl file to specify a jvm.
