OK, many thanks, I havn't done that before. This is what I just did
with CMake, I checked the Advanced box, entered "Java" in the search
window on the left, then clicked " +Add Entry". Below the word "Java"
appeared under "Name", then searched for the 32 bit Java compiler on
the right, which is at C:/Program Files (x86)/Java/jdk1.8.0_31/bin.
So far so good, I will now start up CMake 3.3.0 again from scratch,
having deleted all the old files. After all this I will let you know
what happens.
