I checked the contents of the packages and the information on the XMLMind 
website. The bundled JVM is only available for Windows .exe installers; 
therefore, the nojvm suffix is also only used for Windows .exe installers. All 
the other packages are without a private JVM.

The tar.gz downloads are usable on Linux, Windows and Mac. Obviously, a Java 
runtime is required on the host machine.

I have no idea, and I'm not going to test it (lack of time, plus I don't want 
to risk messing up my XML Professional installation).

I uploaded my 5.0.0 nojvm .exe installer as well, because this is the preferred 
download for Windows machines with a JVM present.

My suggestion is that we move these packages into a subdir called xxe, and 
update the readmes so people know what these files are all about and don't 
download them by accident, thinking they are necessary build tools.
