OK, I'll bite -- why would you _not_ want to install by default the JVM in Oracle 10g (assuming it is already not present on your machine in one form or another)?

Platform, version information, all the usual would help.

Thank goodness the installer and various creation assistants don't ask about installing Perl! Otherwise, how would the 10g database control get any OS-related information :-) (under Linux, at least). Oh, that reminds me -- the 10g database control relies on JVM.
