It is not.  Thus we should NOT include Java in the package.  We should
have a Wiki article just like these do on how to install and run.

They are broken and not smart enough to figure out that Java does not
exist and popup the correct error.


BTW, where I work, Java applications are given priority over c/C++
ones.  Why?  Write once, run anywhere and this has to apply as we may
move from Windows(something) to RHEL to Solaris.
