Before popcon (number of downloads), I would suggest number of non-library packages depending on the VM, i.e. if you install a certain VM, how many applications will you be able to run with it, without having to install another VM and play with JAVA_HOME etc...
Speaking of alternatives, it would be nice to have a mean to completely switch from one Java alternative to another. Currently you need to modify more than 10 different alternatives in order to switch from e.g. kaffe to Sun's Java or back. I don't know how this could be fixed, but this is cumbersome. Wouldn't it be possible to define only alternatives for java and javac, and everything else would be slave alternatives of the both, depending if they're meant to be Runtime or Development commands?
