Summary: Run from CDrom

Initial Comment:
I don't know if this is possible, but it would be nice to be 
able to run DrJava from a CD or USB drive.

I put the JDK and DrJava both on a USB drive.  DrJava 
would not run until I had installed the JRE on the client 
PC.  I image this is required because of graphical 
devices having unique properties.

If it is possible to run DrJava without a JRE installed on 
a client PC, then students could take DrJava almost 
anywhere to perform their work.  A 256K USB drive will 
hold almost anything a student needs.  The only 
problem is that many computer labs will not allow the 
student to install the JRE.

Another Java IDE - JJ2 - at www.javastick.com claims to 
be able to run from a USB Drive, or a CD.  I wonder how 
they do it?
