Sam,

Mozilla detects or installs Sun's JDK, I think.

    http://www.mozillanews.org/index.php3?article=31
    The majority of the size increase is the inclusion of Sun's Java 2
package.

K-Meleon and Opera handles optional installation of the Sun JDK. We can look
to those for ideas, too.

    K-Meleon (http://kmeleon.sourceforge.net/docs/relnotes07.php):
a.. You must first install the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) to run Java
applets in K-Meleon. Once installed, K-Meleon automatically detects your JRE
installation and no other configuration is necessary.
a.. K-Meleon has been tested with JRE 1.4. You can download JRE 1.4 from
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4/download.html. To see if JRE is properly
installed, type about:plugins in the URL bar. If you see Java Plug-in
listed, K-Meleon properly recognizes the JRE.

Opera:

Hope this helps. May take a little research to iron out auto-detect
installation.

Cheers,

Robin
