Why should Wolfram Research for everything have to "reinvent the wheel?" = Aside from a slight code overhead -- which could readily be equalled or exceeded were Mathematica to implement its own version of the Java code for its PacletManager -- what's wrong, really, with using Java? And how can you tell for sure where the PacletManager is the only place Mathematica needs Java? ??? wrote: > Dear all, > > I have tried V6.0, and find that whenever kernel starts, JavaLink is > loaded.
