BrowserLauncher2 could be removed in favor of a much simpler approach

That is actually superseded by a Java6 facility, so I should do a small
piece of recoding and remove the dependency
+1
(and, if I can help, let me know.)
Of course, it would be even easier/less work, to remove the click
through altogether (this is probably my favorite option).
What other Apache projects do in a similar situation (i.e. you want
to warn the user about some potential security issues and therefore
you ask the user to actively agree, press a button, etc. to make sure
the user reads it (I know, I know...))?
The GRDDL component runs XSLT from the Web, in a sandbox.
The HP lawyer who advised, understanding the risks of running 3rd party
code, wanted an explicit user action to agree to the BSD license terms,
to have a firmer leg to stand on if the the 3rd party code proved
malicious, and the sandbox inadequate.
(The browser launcher is used only for the click through agreement to BSD)
I was not able to find a single Apache project which requires a click
through to 'ensure' users agree to the license.
