More about this activity
The OLPC XO-1 laptops deployed in Uruguay and many other countries do not have Java installed. In Uruguay, children don't have permissions to install software in the operative system as they can not become root.
The idea of having the Sun JRE in a Sugar bundle is to avoid including it in every activity that requires to use Java. Instead, just install this bundle, add the "bin" folder to the PATH environment variable of your activity (as explained when the activity is executed) and start using Java in your activity!
