I just wanted to comment on this part for a moment...I think most
would agree that improving documentation would be a good thing.

While you may this is a good thing about the Java install, this has to
be my number 1 irritation with Java.  The installer which is not
integrated with your distribution.  Fortunately, there are
distribution specific packages which work pretty well, but dealing
with the official release is such a pain!

IMHO, of course. :)

You are, however, the first person I've run into who actually LIKES
the java installation system...
