Faste to run? Surely not. Java is only loaded when java-stuff is actually used.

Actually observations show it does make a difference.


       It might also help us address some of the nasties on Windows -
where we
cannot easily ship a JRE everywhere.

Don't mix runtime with buildtime please...
If you're suggesting to also disable java for the released builds,
then I scream even louder.

ACK. And I don't think people - even if they built themselves - should get a
build in which some stuff ON PURPOSE does not work.

       You have a day to scream 'STOP', 'LOOK', 'LISTEN' :-) failing that
I
suggest we tweak the default tomorrow.

The /defaults/ should be as close to what the shipped product will use.

ACK. ((Though --without-java in some way would  help to test the chronically
untested --without-java build)

If you want to not break when no JDK is installed, then go ahead and
turn it into a warning "No JDK found, java support will be disabled"
or similar, but please don't switch the default around.

I disagree. Default should stay as-is, as much as one might dislike Java and/or the
Java dependeny.
