That's completely insane.  Doesn't Ascend realize that a very large
portion of there clients use no MS applications whatsoever, and that
furthermore the MS Java extensions have little or no use in such a project
(or for that matter in almost any project).

Of course, this would explain why this Java configurator creates a
security hole.  It's made for MS products, and it can't help but pick up
the influence.
