Hi Neil, 

why do you prefer non-java-based installers? 

Should'nt it be possible to create an installer with the nb-installer 
infrastructure which can 
download a JDK? For my nb platform apps I bundle a JDK. I think also others 
should be 
interested in creating installers with downloading the JDK as an Option. 
Maybe a very small java-runtime can be created to run the nb-installer first.

best regards
Oliver
