      Problem:

              The problem is two fold:

              1) There has been a low level of background requests to be able
                 to easily execute the most advanced JVM on the system. Entities
                 with this desire are our greatest friends because the believe
                 in our ability to be backward compatable (or they just never
                 thought about it). However, mostly this seems to be a desire
                 to have equivalent behavior between Solaris and Windows.
                 
              2) Internal utilization of the the Multiple JRE mechanism has been
                 slowed because a well known name to an initial mJRE enabled
                 java launcher isn't available.

              Note that although JES hasn't directly requested this, this offers
              a solution to one of their installation difficulties. JDS will
              probably run into the same difficulty (they've just restricted
              their release compatibility matrix so much at the moment, that
              they haven't realized the problem yet).
