HI Peppe,
One comment about including a version bundled with a JVM. The point of
doing this, IMO is to give first time users a good tryout experience.
Millions of open source software applications are downloaded each day on the
web, but only a few thousand are not immediately removed. This is caused by
many things, but one of the most important and easily overlooked, is the
lack of a good and foolproof install process. Including the JVM with
SkhJUMP has been a crucial factor in getting a trouble free install 99% of
the time. For users that have never loaded a JVM before and aren't familiar
with Java, it is extremely important.
regards,
Larry
