Window requesting Java installation is a little unclear #321

It could be clearer that the Yes or No buttons refer to installing Java. We may also want to disclose to the user from where it is being downloaded and what is being downloaded and installed.

Instead:

Title: Java Required
Body: Heritrix and OpenWayback require Java to operate. Download and install now?
Buttons: Cancel - Download & Install

An alternate 3-option button scheme:

Quit
Continue Anyway
Download & Install

Though this seems non-standard and awkward, it would allow the user to use the WAIL interface without the additional installation requirement.
