Why isn't this information <param name="java_version" value="1.7*"> 
enough to trigger an auto download of a compatible JRE if one does not 
exists? Rather than being completely ignored :-(

(Yes, I know you were talking desktop APP but use myFile.config 
<dickyXMLtag version>1.7*</xml> as an analogy if you like. Or 
this.version.assert((1.7*") or "something")

I'm just so frustrated by all the cargo-cult programming these days and 
in particular 10 tonnes of unfit for purpose crap like JWS)
