It is pretty much semantics, but it does help if we agree on the terms. I
consider something a wrapper if it executes before the core application.
A help is something that the application executes to extend it's
capabilities. An application rarely knows a wrapper exists. It always
knows helpers exist because it's responsible for invoking them.

It's Odin technology but not Odin per se. The Odin code that comes with
Innotek Java is supposed to be entirely independent of any existing Odin
installation. Turns out this is not entirely true, but it's a defect that
Innotek will correct.

BF alert. I meant to say "install the jar" rather than "install the
zip." I must have been thinking of Polarbar or some other app.
