Because as far as I can tell the Sun plugin will not work without it.
I don't know what other things require it but I always have to
install it to get the Sun plugin to work. I was just curious if you
had it installed.

It is possible to have both iced-tea and Sun's java installed and
functioning correctly. I use the JPackage utilities to do the setup
for alternatives. It makes it very easy to switch Javas.
I am very curious about the Xinerama bug. That is fixed?
I did a web page that describes how to configure F8 for both Javas.
