So it's a "political" decision : how can Mandrakesoft build a distro 
without java (well... there was Kaffe in 8.0) ? It's one major piece of 
software, don't you think, more important than a lot of stuff in the CDs. 
Is it a question of license ?

But again, it's too late to decide this before the finale release...

At least could we have somewhere a  JRE mdk package which is tested 
against mozilla : I never succeeded to launch java applets from mozilla 
with the one given on penguinppc.org...
