Thanks! That's very helpful to know. Do anyone know what was meant by the final comment? I've copied it here for ease of discussion. How do I set the Java VM to the JDK? Why is this recommended? <QUOTE> Just so you know, you probably should set your system VM to a JDK. If you want, you can set your user's VM to be a JRE. The reason for this is that if you ever install a Java package or application, you're goint to need a JDK set as your system VM. </QUOTE> Thanks, Mark -- [email protected] mailing list
