java version "1.2.1"
Classic VM (build JDK-1.2.1-A, native threads)

This is a Feature Request.

I ask you to, please, include in Windows' versions of the JRE an additional
executable (java.exe sibling). The difference between this executable and the
actual "java.exe" would be the following:
- Graphical interaction (windows, mouse, keyboard) no more shell please.
- No hassel in finding or knowing about the directory in which is "java.exe".
- No problem in configuring the classpath variable (registry or command line)
because this graphical JRE could provide it as a configuration feature.
- Once the graphical JRE is running the startup time of any other Java program
will be very much shorter.
- Could preload all the AWT, Swing and "java.*" classes to allow a lightning
fast program load.

Additional foreseeable features:
- The graphical JRE could be a Jini client.
- Could act as very configurable desktop to beat MS Windows.
- Could include add-ons to manage Jiro solutions.
- Developers can use it as a developement base to set graphical interface
development standards.
