<div>However the JTS desktop tool would be an *amazing* addition

<div>Ah ok, I had the same question as Landon w.r.t. an
installer.</div>
<div>So the question remaining is Landons other question:</div>
<div>What is the schedule?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I could imagine to do the fact-sheet for JTS (though
- its for JTS not </div>
<div>the testbuilder - which I agree, is a nifty tool; at
least for teaching) </div>
<div>and maybe a short intro. But I think Landon did do
the latter already?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Installer... depends... maybe we can ask Ede from OJ
for advise (but he </div>
<div>also had a full plate ;)</div>

<div>JTS comes with a couple of user-level tools -
the TestBuilder and the</div>
<div>TestRunner. The TestRunner is a bit esoteric,
but the TestBuilder I</div>
<div>think would make a fine tool to be installed
on the Quickstart.</div>
