I agree. Anything that would reduce the number of named entities, be it in a workspace or on disk, can only make the process easier when attempting to package an application. This is all very doable but does require additional effort and planning to accomplish. I suppose after using J for a significant period of time one develops the J mindset that understands the quirks in the environment and plans accordingling. But it takes time...

I hope that changes some day. > I think that deployment can be made easier if there is a J Runtime Environment (JRE, J is not Java). There are about 500 ijs files total 2MB under J system directory.
