maybe it would be possible to add a check for the current java version in the java 
code on fred startup, prompting a fat message, that the installed java version is not 
1.4.x, which is necessary to run the freenet 
daemon, along with some urls where to get a 1.4 java installation, e.g. sun or ibm.
there have been many mails regarding problems with old java installations to the 
support list, and all the answers were the same: "install java 1.4!" maybe this could 
be automated when fred checks it for itself and 
prompts the user where to find and maybe how to install a 1.4 jre.....?

>You need at least java 1.4

>go to java.sun.com and get 1.4.1 or 1.4.2
