Actually, at least "fop" needs Java for non Java related matters (I think
other packages in the book which depend on Java are for doing Java related
things). The point is whether the book should point to the JDK binaries at
Oracle, or provide a way to build them. Actually, I agree that a way to build
a JVM should be in the book.
I have a proposition, which might satisfy everybody: why not put both the
tarball download and the mercurial instructions in the book? That would be of
some educational value to show a use for mercurial, as Bruce said, and would
keep the possibility to use more conventional methods.
"When given a choice, take both." seems to apply here. Good idea.
