Something is going to have to happen on the JRE redistribution. We have the printmgr, webadmin, smc the whole frontend to the web installer which at some point might be consider for OpenSolaris. Not that any of it's all that impresive to begin with I really despise java exceptions during system install or maintance but it's either put it in OpenSolaris or just take java dependencies out of Solaris. ---Bob This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
