The other day while hanging out in IRC and helping random people with their FTB packs, I was reminded that there are those out there with 64-bit OS's with over ~1.5 GB of RAM and who are still running 32-bit Java.
Would it be at all possible for the launcher to detect these series of events and then suggest to the user that they upgrade their Java? Perhaps it could link to a guide on the forums, or (if Java would allow it) a direct link to the proper version?
I do program as a hobby and I realize that a task is not always as simple as it seems, but I feel that this feature would certainly help improve the FTB experience. The more automated the better for those less tech savvy community members.
