As I understand it, yes, we're blatantly in violation, but bundling the JRE into the installer is also in violation. Again, as I understand it, if we bundle JRE with Freenet, we should try to ensure that it is not usable by other applications.
I can see no way of achieving this. If indeed it is acceptable to bundle the JRE installer inside a 'heavy installer' then what's preventing any casual user downloading the heavy installer just for the JRE? I think *this* is what Sun really wants to prevent. I believe that if we bundle Sun JRE we *cannot* use Sun's JRE installer. The only solutions I see are to produce our own installer for JRE (not fun, no thank you) or just scrap the automatic download of the JRE and request that the users go to java.sun.com and download it themselves. And then we're back where we started with a user-unfriendly installer. <shrug> d > The best option is probably for the lite installer to download and run > the heavy installer if it detects that the user does not have the JRE > installed. > > On Tue, Jul 15, 2003 at 02:34:47AM +0100, toad wrote: >> Please produce a freenet-wininstall.exe variation that includes the JRE, >> in the same file.
