The prospect of having to install a JRE to build Qt or eventually Qt applications solicits a fairly loud "I think I'll pass" from me. I don't use java for anything. Having it around for a supposedly simple and easy-to-adopt build system is a cost that I am not eager to pay. Do we expect to package a JRE with Qt? Do we expect a JRE to be a package dependency of Qt for distro vendors? _______________________________________________ Development mailing list [email protected] http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/development
