We distribute a binary .class file, so that the developer / release manager can be using a higher-version JDK than the user is using. Without distributing a binary .class file, how would you implement the goal of having separate, independent configure tests - for the Java execution, - for the Java compilation? Like you say, a 'javac' program and a JRE are different things. Bruno
