OSGeo-Live Java people,

Does Jody's suggestion make sense for your project?
Do you expect your project would work using UDig's custom java install?
Would you anticipate we might run into any stability issues?
Will this proposal help your project save any space?
Any other thoughts?
Please CC responses to live-demo at lists.osgeo.org
