[wplug] newbie question

[bgtrio at yahoo.com]

Well, Limewire is a Java application, and requires that a java virtual 
machine be installed.  Sun offers this for download at java.sun.com if I 
recall correctly.

Java is not installed by default on Redhat 7.3, if Sun ever releases it 
under a free software compatible license I'm certain that it will be 
included with no delay but for now, you have to add it in.
