How is this different from dotnet20/mfc42/etc.?
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.
Frankly, applications that assume Java is installed are just broken.
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.
