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.
