Sorry, for the confusion - I noticed that the mail directing me to BBB
was sent to me directly and not to the list. I looked again and noticed
that it was sent by a company offering hosted BBB services. So, it
really does not have anything to do with Openmeetings.

And, from your answer I now got it: JRE is required on the client's
computer but not as a browser plugin.

Thank you very much for the clarification! I really appreciate your help.

Nevertheless, you may want to put this info somewhere on the project's
website. Especially Flash may or may not be a show-stopper for some
users. Likewise, not every client is allowed to have JRE installed. And
even in the installation guidelines I could not find these requirements.
