Re: SUN JRE (Java) as package for TS2

Oh! Please get me right. Anybody is most welcome to contribute any 
package to TS. No doubt about this.

I still have a hard time to see JRE on a thin client (am I 
wrong about the 33 MB?). I have great use of a java ssh client on my web 
server, but it is around 5 MB. The TS ssh client is 180 kB. This is an 
extreme example, I know, but generally 
speaking, java programs are way fatter than x86 binaries (and TS does only 
support the x86 platforms).

But this is only my personal opinion.
