I really don't understand the point. It's up to the user to provide the required packages, as it is with OTB, SAGA, GRASS, etc. If someone mean to mantain a big all-included package as a simplified mega-plugin is onviously free to do it, but IMHO it would be served as a third party package. giova

In case of linux systems, I would think that most (if not all) installations include java, so it's not that much of a requirement. It might be more complicated in the case of windows and mac. It would be interesting to have a separate qgis-framework package (or similar name) that includes sextante
