Description Roman Strobl 2005-10-05 16:02:27 UTC 
Currently the parsed JDK database takes around 13 MB of data in each userdir.
This is an issue on a Czech university with 1600 users, both because of quotes
for home dirs and for data storage needed.

It would be nice to support sharing of parsed JDK databases on the server for
many client stations. This way a lot of disc space would be saved.

This would be performance-killer.

Well, not really, at least not for the CTU case.
The idea is that the JDK data would be in the installation dir (as opposed to userdir).
It might be a problem in a general networked installation, but in case where your userdir is networked anyway, it makes
no difference, and we're talking SunRays here in the CTU case, so the IDE may even end up running on the same box
as the data are located.

Also, for 5.0/5.5, we used to have the StorageBuilder - installation time step that did (roughly) this.
