The Boot will have to stay pretty much as it is right now. The primary purposes of the Boot is:
(1) stay small: It loads all the other classes over the network. It can't have dependencys on other classes cause that means that we would have to put those dependencies in the boot.jar. (2) minimize the system classloader classpath: This will avoid parent delegation classloader problems. We need to look into setting a security policy in the Boot since, it can be runing code obtained from the network. Some of the simple things that Main does we might bring over in to Boot. I believe that Main should still be around, if you are not doing a network boot, then you can use Main. We might be able to simplyfiy Main and the Server* some since they now do not have a requirment to keep thier size down.
