(There is really just unzipping and setting paths > you're self) I've never installed Java any other way, so that's not really an issue for me. Only recently have package-managers bothered to support versions that are not insanely old. Now that I'll be switching to OpenJDK, using a package-manager is going to look more attractive to me. > Java on the desktop is really dead now (and we have quite a few > customers using that through webstart) Webstart is also dead. But let's be honest, Java on the desktop was never really alive in the first place. The only tools I can think of written in Java are mostly for developers. Yeah, there are a few specialty things but mostly they come with their own JVMs, now (e.g. Eclipse... which is also a developer tool). It's a huge waste of a download, but what are you gonna do? - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - https://www.enigmail.net/ iQIzBAEBCAAdFiEEMmKgYcQvxMe7tcJcHPApP6U8pFgFAlvIpbIACgkQHPApP6U8 pFj0YA/7Btq4+JoBkqajBov98cAKsD1ld531HDc4VGRZJFuIjPXBZaWHCr/lQROk tDBGE7VSA29KdzUk3zH/411vY8aaSFHYR4qDBAyVjHOz6lSvXkLmz/NP8WUu49q5 GCi2oZOjzZAaHzZGScwARED31XSI8Lxx4Qsz1LTIGXqoiDTSFMIpcVCGNagoe3SG 4k8YLUUm4ywIJfweLA9uZmf5yFayQg8xcAyiUfWVe961IeTMbKVspusZi7jq6Vk7 P5a5x6+0hQkV5OyNFRTDMX8Fa0ffewB8tEJi/EhIoKmKk4q5Y77S8TrSGI3C7TWr ecsNtO0ijqPNQtBxcusnrRGTmJ/86VU+lar0UuMnz2a6NGk+vYcfs4bzcxb18jBN cRqFkb6ziovgjqY30j1b3/S25PmUAVI8tuoki+NFap0XeysXahQTiEIhq6XH8ycg Vib/0GvBb2lJW7YnLlzK7Rd5Ow/flCgyaiS9YxRBQDnQTUm27RS0GVB0+rPZEJbf rU+XBFGnK+x6QDFJ3MOdKLrVFbXVrv0gRr1MVTDOC0eJkbqHX0iw9wob5rym1UzN fUSaZh3O8rcmHsvBrs43SuA2cJSGqtQmLomrZTGUF0pNl/tCLl6ClaX5RewDSLng jf3Yihlp82YSkjn/K1Vrd9u6RDrCYyLgYAbV9FIHx44NtlkQhYY= =Y2Tj -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
