AJAX = Asynchronous Javascript And XML |

Javascript != Java |

AJAX isn't a language and doesn't have anything to do with Java. |

Of course, roundcube might use Java AND AJAX or even use Java to generate |
| 12 |
the Javascript and/or XML parts of AJAX. But you don't write applications |
| 13 |
in AJAX (as you state), you write them using AJAX and using AJAX doesn't |
| 14 |
automatically add a dependency on Java (as you imply). |
