Corysia,
We're all familiar with the auto_install information.
You're missing the whole point. You are pointing to a a piece-meal
strategy. What we are saying is that Sun should look at deployment for the
overall Java strategy and only install those components which are needed,
when they are needed. They should auto-update as well.
Are we the only ones that feel this pain? I don't believe so from the
volume on the list of related items. So far Sun has been unwilling to
subset Java and because of this the initial Java download is rather
large. Then add to that J3D, then your application code, then your
content... It gets a bit out of control. As far as code and content, we
are already working on streaming it. It's what comes before our code that
is the brunt of the issue.
