Looks like we can go back to the original system where-by the installer only downloads the JRE on-demand (I will refrain from the "I told you so!"). Can whoever switched over to the current two-installer scheme please put it back the way it was?
Thanks, Ian. ----- Forwarded message from Carla Schroer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ----- From: Carla Schroer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: Freenet and Java To: Ian Clarke <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: Carla Schroer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Ian, Sorry for the delay in responding to you, I needed to check with legal, and also with Julie in particular since she had already spoken to you. We do have a requirement, when distributing the JRE, to bundle it with your own software, in this case freenet. There is nothing in our requirements that should prevent you from having a "smart" installer, that installs the JRE only if the user needs it, so long as the JRE is never installed without also installing the freenet software. Julie understood that your earlier installer might install just the JRE from your site without the freenet software, and this was the problem she was concerned about. Alternatively, your installer could point people to the java.com or java.sun.com websites for the download of the JRE if it detected a need for a JRE. In that case there would be no requirement on you to ensure bundling of your own software, since they would be getting the software directly from Sun. We have a new banner program you can host on your website to point people to java.com for the latest version, if that's of any interest. Hopefully, one of these solutions is workable for you. If you have any further questions, please let me know how I can help.
