I dont disagree. If you find a way to cleanly redistribute, I think it's a
good idea.

Well, I think that there is a benefit in at least having One Standard Place
for java.
So that our programs that NEED java, can set JAVA_HOME to it and just go, if
they dont have any funky requirements.
The issue of WHICH java runtime it would point to, I think would be best
left to a combination of [our CSW java tzar, TBD], and the customer site
admin.
