Actually, it says "gij" but on my monitor the text is cut off and it looks like a q, not a g.

Perhaps we could rework this as follows:

"JBoss Developer Studio requires a Java 5 or later runtime. Gnu Java (gij) is not supported; Open JDK 6 is recommended. Choose the Java VM to use with JBoss Developer Studio.
( ) Default Java VM (defined by PATH)
( ) Alternate Java VM (user-defined)"

Of course that assumes that JDBS does in fact support JDK6, and that we'd like to encourage people to use the latest and greatest Open JDK [1] (offered OOTB in Fedora 9 and later [2]), rather than letting them pick Sun, IBM, or BEA's JDKs.

Also, does the installer check if the version of java used to run it is a compatible one? For example, will the installer run with 1.4, or with blackdown or gij, but require that JBDS itself use 5.0+?

And, since this selection is a prereq before JBDS will work at all, should this page be step 1, not 4?
