Err, yes.
I said I want a JDK, I do get a JDK, and you are telling me I get a JDK. But
I knew that. I must be missing your point.
I have been over this a lot when rJava was first packaged maybe a decade ago
and it was a HUGE pain in the arse to get everything right (as Java is
complex, and hard to package).
It works now. I have no interest in changing it. As I pointed out earlier,
one of the reason of rJava (and the JDK) is that people can install __other__
R and Java-using packages __from source__ for which a JDK is needed.
To recap: I want the Depends to express the need for JDK. We get a JDK.
Feature, not bug.
Sorry if I missed something ere, and I rushed the email out as I am on my way
out of the door.
