Yep. I would say so :)

I know that. Just reported it because I'm happy about 3.4.4 :)

What do you mean disabled? Is it automatically enabled when/if Java is
installed? If not then it would be better to keep it enabled and just
pop the warning (like in 3.4.4)

Yes I know how to select it. I just wanted to know the criteria.
