Synopsis WebStart should use JRE installer when bundled with Merlin
Category javawebstart:install
Reported Against merlin-beta
Release Fixed
State 11-Closed, duplicate of 4718282, request for enhancement
Priority: 4-Low
Related Bugs 4718282
Submit Date 06-MAR-2001
Description
Right now the WebStart installer is packaged inside the JRE installer.  This adds several hundred k to the download.  When bundled with the JRE WebStart shouldn't require its own installer.  It should instead just piggyback off the JRE's installer.

Evaluation
Spoke with Dave about this; we will target a fix for Tiger.  The Nullsoft
installer overhead is about 120k for the international bundle, and 70k for the
U.S. bundle.  We will lower the priority and commit to fix for Tiger.
