Yeah, these are good points, Ramsey. But I am wondering if the JDK is a requirement for running the applications. In the past, at least in windows deployment, it was a requirement.
http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/WebObjects/Web_Applications/Deployment/Windows#Before_you_start regarding the SDK issue in Windows deployment. ------------------- SDK installation Next thing is to install a Java-SDK. The version of the SDK must be greater or equal to 1.3.1, SDK 1.3.0 will not work. Also, you have to install a SDK, installing only a runtime environment (JRE) will not work. I would suggest using SDK 1.4.0 or higher unless you experience problems with it (someone mentioned issues with Timestamp's) . Especially on multiprocessor systems, 1.4.0's concurrent garbage collection is a big plus. If you do cross-platform development (OSX/Windows) be sure to download the full international SDK from Sun (the biggest package), as only this version contains all the font encodings from the Mac. Else, you will get exceptions stating that NSMacOSRomanStringEncoding could not be found.
