do they need to build 0.6.10 specifically? 0.6.21 should work and as well for them as it works for me on mac, also you need a period at the send of the sentence

Seems weird to suggest 0.6.20 here when we are telling them to install 0.6.10 above. We suggest 0.6.10 above because that's the version that works on Windows. I suggest we leave it as 0.6.10 for now. When i do my 0.8.14 support pull request we can reference that version.
I will add the period.

sure but 0.6.10 has security issues, 0.6.10 is needed on windows because of wrench but it doesn't care on non windows platforms, shouldn't limit everyone else because of windows

I just thought I would let you know the latest build works fine on linux with the webworks sdk. I would say 0.6.10 minimum for linux

That would be fine have it as a dependency. All major distros will have it and more up to date as well.
Webworks sdk for linux would have two dependencys OpenJDK and Nodejs
I have had a few people ask me why it does not run and have had to tell them to install java

Why does it need OpenJSK @badtoyz? What exactly requires java?
Should be able to build without it?

Yes you are right about building it. Java is needed to run it after its built.

Oh I understand, the native packager needs java to run. Those are included with the NDK.
