Yes, this is what is proposed. The official J7 distribution will be a barebones system, that will be essentially what Jsoftware provides and supports. Using JAL, you can update this as you wish, for example to get the various IDEs. We might pre-package some systems for easy download. Note that this not how the beta systems have been packaged so far. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
