Hi @ll! I'm a new member of the community, i ask you, why the JDK and the JRE are not included in the package base? Thanks for answere!

If they were included in the base, DSL could double or triple in size! (that's only a guess).

Not to mention Java is not good for older machines (slow, big, clunky, etc.).

jre is available in the repository under 'system'.

(although i'd like to have it on record that i never liked java, one of the reasons being that you need 'jre' in the system.)
