I do understand the restriction, for the scope of incubation we will need to provide installation instructions (i.e. set this stuff up before you install uDig).
And hopefully with Frank's help we can sort out the technical limitations with respect to helping the user make the appropriate downloads.
With that in mind I will send an email on Java 3D.
Is there anything else needed for the discussion of JAI and ImageIO or should I be asking for a vote?

It is possible, however, to automate the process of downloading and
installing software as long as the process is initiated under
supervision of the user (and they get the opportunity to agree to
licenses and stuff). So, you can set up the installer to fetch and
install these dependencies (technical limitations notwithstanding).
The Subversive project, for example, opens a "discovery" dialog to
help the user install an SVN provider. The dialog appears after
you've started your workbench.
Just an option to consider.

okay I would like to resume discussion of:

We will
have to document how to install these JRE Extensions.
I have also
identified a third JRE Extension, Java 3D, which looks to
be replaceable in the long term, but not given our
incubation timeline.
With that in mind I
will start a second email thread with the details on Java
3D.
