Well, let's try again: this time, I'll put it inline, where it risks line ending corruption, but is less likely to be stripped as an attachment. Again, You'll probably need to change the java version numbers, You know how to use :%s/blah/blurb/g in vi, or something similar, yes? If you're about to change them all by hand, get back to me, you don't need to do that. (The script should probably use varables for this, but whatever!)
