3 Java(TM) Platform, Standard Edition
4 Runtime Environment
5 Version 6
6
7
8The Java(TM) Platform, Standard Edition Runtime Environment (JRE(TM)),
9excluding the JavaFX(TM) runtime, is intended for software developers
10and vendors to redistribute with their applications.
11
12The Java SE Runtime Environment contains the Java virtual machine,
13runtime class libraries, and Java application launcher that are
14necessary to run programs written in the Java programming language.
15It is not a development environment and does not contain development
16tools such as compilers or debuggers. For development tools, see the
17Java SE Development Kit (JDK(TM)). The JRE installation triggers the
18download of the JavaFX runtime. The JavaFX runtime is also available
19separately, and is not part of the JRE. For information on JavaFX, and
20how to make changes, go to: http://java.com/javafx

23=======================================================================
24 Deploying Applications with the Java SE Runtime Environment
25=======================================================================
26
27When you deploy an application written in the Java programming
28language, your software bundle will probably consist of the following
29parts:
30
31 Your own class, resource, and data files.
32 The Java SE Runtime Environment.
33 An installation procedure or program.
34
35You already have the first part, of course. The remainder of this
36document covers the other two parts. See also the Notes for Developers
37page on the Java Software website:

41-----------------------------------------------------------------------
42Java Platform, Standard Edition Runtime Environment (JRE)
43-----------------------------------------------------------------------
44
45To run your application, a user needs the Java SE Runtime Environment,
46which is freely available from Oracle. Or, you can redistribute the
47Java SE Runtime Environment for free with your application, according
48to the terms of the Java SE Platform Runtime Environment's license. The
49JavaFX runtime is only required to run applications written in the
50JavaFX scripting language; it is freely available from Oracle, and must
51not be redistributed with your application.
52
53The final step in the deployment process occurs when the software is
54installed on an individual user's system. Installation consists of copying
55software onto the user's system, then configuring the user's system
56to support that software. You should ensure that your installation
57procedure does not overwrite existing JRE installations, as they may
58be required by other applications.

111
112-----------------------------------------------------------------------
113Required vs. Optional Files
114-----------------------------------------------------------------------
115
116The files that make up the Java SE Runtime Environment are divided into
117two categories: required and optional. Optional files may be excluded
118from redistributions of the Java SE Runtime Environment at the
119vendor's discretion.
120
121The following section contains a list of the files and directories that
122may optionally be omitted from redistributions with the Java SE Runtime
123Environment. All files not in these lists of optional files must be
124included in redistributions of the runtime environment.
125
126-----------------------------------------------------------------------
127Optional Files and Directories
128-----------------------------------------------------------------------
129
130The following files may be optionally excluded from redistributions.
131These files are located in the jre1.6.0_<version> directory, where
132<version> is the update version number. Solaris and Linux filenames
133and separators are shown. Windows executables have the ".exe" suffix.
134Corresponding files with _g in the name can also be excluded.
135The corresponding man pages should be excluded for any excluded
136executables (with paths listed below beginning with bin/ ,
137for the Solaris(TM) Operating System and Linux).

172When redistributing the JRE on Microsoft Windows as a private
173application runtime (not accessible by other applications)
174with a custom launcher, the following files are also
175optional. These are libraries and executables that are used
176for Java support in Internet Explorer and Mozilla family browsers;
177these files are not needed in a private JRE redistribution.

221Redistributable JDK(TM) Files
222-----------------------------------------------------------------------
223
224The limited set of files from the Java SE Development Kit (JDK)
225listed below may be included in vendor redistributions of the Java SE
226Runtime Environment. All paths are relative to the top-level
227directory of the JDK. The corresponding man pages should be included for
228any included executables (with paths listed below beginning with bin/ ,
229for the Solaris(TM) Operating System and Linux).
230
231 jre/lib/cmm/PYCC.pf
232 Color profile. This file is required only if one wishes to
233 convert between the PYCC color space and another color space.
234
235 All .ttf font files in the jre/lib/fonts directory.
236 Note that the LucidaSansRegular.ttf font is already contained
237 in the Java SE Runtime Environment, so there is no need to
238 bring that file over from the JDK.
239
240 jre/lib/audio/soundbank.gm
241 This MIDI soundbank is present in the JDK, but it has
242 been removed from the Java SE Runtime Environment in order to
243 reduce the size of the Runtime Environment's download bundle.
244 However, a soundbank file is necessary for MIDI playback, and
245 therefore the JDK's soundbank.gm file may be included in
246 redistributions of the Runtime Environment at the vendor's
247 discretion. Several versions of enhanced MIDI soundbanks are
248 available from the Java Sound web site:
249 http://java.sun.com/products/java-media/sound/
250 These alternative soundbanks may be included in redistributions
251 of the Java SE Runtime Environment.
252
253 The javac bytecode compiler, consisting of the following files:
254 bin/javac [Solaris(TM) Operating System
255 and Linux]

300 jre\bin\server\
301 On Microsoft Windows platforms, the JDK includes both
302 the Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM and Java HotSpot Client VM.
303 However, the Java SE Runtime Environment for Microsoft Windows
304 platforms includes only the Java HotSpot Client VM. Those wishing
305 to use the Java HotSpot Server VM with the Java SE Runtime
306 Environment may copy the JDK's jre\bin\server folder to a
307 bin\server directory in the Java SE Runtime Environment. Software
308 vendors may redistribute the Java HotSpot Server VM with their
309 redistributions of the Java SE Runtime Environment.
310
311
312-----------------------------------------------------------------------
313Unlimited Strength Java Cryptography Extension
314-----------------------------------------------------------------------
315
316Due to import control restrictions for some countries, the Java
317Cryptography Extension (JCE) policy files shipped with the Java SE
318Development Kit and the Java SE Runtime Environment allow strong but
319limited cryptography to be used. These files are located at
320
321 <java-home>/lib/security/local_policy.jar
322 <java-home>/lib/security/US_export_policy.jar
323
324where <java-home> is the jre directory of the JDK or the
325top-level directory of the Java SE Runtime Environment.
326
327An unlimited strength version of these files indicating no restrictions
328on cryptographic strengths is available on the JDK web site for
329those living in eligible countries. Those living in eligible countries
330may download the unlimited strength version and replace the strong
331cryptography jar files with the unlimited strength files.
332
333-----------------------------------------------------------------------
334The cacerts Certificates File
335-----------------------------------------------------------------------
336
337Root CA certificates may be added to or removed from the Java SE
338certificate file located at
339
340 <java-home>/lib/security/cacerts
341
342For more information, see The cacerts Certificates File section
343in the keytool documentation at:

348Endorsed Standards Override Mechanism
349=======================================================================
350
351From time to time it is necessary to update the Java platform in order
352to incorporate newer versions of standards that are created outside of
353the Java Community Process(SM) (JCP(SM) http://www.jcp.org/) (Endorsed
354Standards), or in order to update the version of a technology included
355in the platform to correspond to a later standalone version of that
356technology (Standalone Technologies).
357
358The Endorsed Standards Override Mechanism provides a means whereby
359later versions of classes and interfaces that implement Endorsed
360Standards or Standalone Technologies may be incorporated into the Java
361Platform.
362
363For more information on the Endorsed Standards Override Mechanism,
364including the list of platform packages that it may be used to
365override, see
366
