Dear Sberlin

Once again, thank you for your enlightening reply, at this moment I will stick with the International version of LW Pro because, on my system, it is stable and works.

However, my originally suggestion still seems valid, adding a manual selection feature, within “Options”, so a user can choose which version of Java they want use, the shipped version (V1.3) or the one installed on their PC.

This would cover the point made by Lord of the Rings, i.e. if the latest version of Java proves to be unstable then users could revert to back to the default (V1.3) version. Also, this would deal with your concern about V1.4x onwards being too large to ship with LW Pro.

I am aware that when writing or maintaining a programme, such as LW Pro, for users across the globe you have to strike a balance between automatic and manual features. Nevertheless, I believe, my suggestion could add additional functionality and flexibility without upsetting the balance you have so far achieved.
