These are some definite benefits. I think that Mark's concerns are also valid. The presence of an exe installer might indicate to users that HttpClient is an application instead of a library. If we do decide to implement the installer I think we will have to address this question in documentation, etc.

Um -- but Maven and Tomcat are applications, HttpClient is a
library. And given the variety of ways that you can import a library
with Java, I'm not sure exactly what the Win32 would give you over unzip
& go.

1) Display and acceptance of license
2) Start/Programs/ Menu option with links to installed docs, samples, home
page and bug reporting system etc
3) Easy uninstall for the user.
4) Easier to start with for a novice.
