Hi Curt and all,
I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with running Java on
top of Brew?
I have found various references to the possibility online:

With the last link suggesting that perhaps full distribution of "java
over brew" apps is still not a reality.
Anyone know more? Actually gone through the process of getting java to
run on brew? Found a way to distribute their app?
Many thanks in advance
