minimal vs maximal

We could argue about this till the cows came home. And I have no cows.

Most likely the J701 release is going to be a minimal installer that
contains:
   jconsole
   library
   jhs
   jhs demos
   labs (all labs, updated for both jhs and gtk front ends)
   jhs help (expanded a bit from what is there now)

pacman and pacman downloads will be improved to make it as easy as possible
for users (old and new) to find and install the extras they want.

In particular, pacman install and use of the jgtk front end will be made as
clean and simple as possible for all platforms.

The j602 help has not been updated for j701. When it is it will be directly
accessible  on the web from jhs and jgtk help and will also be available as
a pacman download to run locally.

Of course, once this basic installer is a stable release, community efforts
could create additional (maximal or whatever) installers.
