Why do you want Java apps to be inferior than native apps running on the
system? It seems to me that you want crippled Java apps. That's what
applets are for.

Signed Java apps are better than the average .EXE from unknown vendors
(shareware apps or freeware) people download from download.com and other
such sites, and install on Windows all the time.

PS: JShot needs filesystem access if you want to actually EDIT BITMAPS
using the built-in bitmap editor (say to take a portion of another JPG on
the local filesystem and combine it with your screenshot, or save the
result of your editing to the local filesystem).
