That should be fine -- I didn't get the "runtime" because I figured most
people already HAVE some form of runtime (and relatively recent), but if
that would be a concern, I could grab that too.  [hold the phone and
insert Homer ">doh<" comment: the JDK --INCLUDES-- the JRE...]

OTOH, the IDE is now up to version 5.5, so it's "your call" whether or
not to use the beta 4.0
