i made the mess on installing/index.html. The reason it doesn't say -Xbootclass... is because i was too stupid to do it that way when i wrote the instructions. They took a patch from me that made index the mess that it is, so i am certain the committers would take a patch from you which would clean it up. I think the instruction should be moved to faq also. Perhaps you could combine the answers in that question and include info on jdk 1.4 as well. You are probably right about just providing a link to the pja install page. PJA's instructions have gotten much better since i first used it.
