Hmm, yeah, that's true. I believe this is due to uncertainty around the
various clauses in the Redistribution text in the stock Java licence, so
safest option was not to redistribute it as part of the stock windows

Quite; cf. such uncertainty - it probably makes considerable sense to
look into a migration strategy from Java to (insert anything else). Some
candidates might be python for the more scripty pieces (though I hate
non-typed languages), and/or native C++.
Hopefully we can overcome the pain of C++ by bundling core extensions
that people really need, and thus building them as part of the product.
HTH,
