Hi, I was reported nothing about the installer, so it must be accessible. So enabling the user to choose using accessibility tools at this time seems to be a good idea indeed. I also thought of a shortcut to check?uncheck the checkbox, which would work only if Java Bridge would be installed. What do you think about that?
Anyway I'm ready to test any improvement about this point.
