|

|
|---|

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

|

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

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

|
|---|
| 103 | all Programs and/or Software.
|
|---|
| 104 |
|
|---|
| 105 | The term "vendors" used here refers to licensees, developers, and
|
|---|
| 106 | independent software vendors (ISVs) who license and distribute the
|
|---|
| 107 | Java SE Runtime Environment with their programs.
|
|---|
| 108 |
|

| 113 | Required vs. Optional Files
|
|---|
| 114 | -----------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|---|
| 115 |
|
|---|
| 116 | The files that make up the Java SE Runtime Environment are divided into
|
|---|
| 117 | two categories: required and optional. Optional files may be excluded
|
|---|
| 118 | from redistributions of the Java SE Runtime Environment at the
|
|---|
| 119 | vendor's discretion.
|
|---|
| 120 |
|
|---|
| 121 | The following section contains a list of the files and directories that
|
|---|
| 122 | may optionally be omitted from redistributions with the Java SE Runtime
|
|---|
| 123 | Environment. All files not in these lists of optional files must be
|
|---|
| 124 | included in redistributions of the runtime environment.
|
|---|
| 125 |
|
|---|
| 126 | -----------------------------------------------------------------------
|

|
|---|
| 132 | <version> is the update version number. Solaris and Linux filenames
|
|---|
| 133 | and separators are shown. Windows executables have the ".exe" suffix.
|
|---|
| 134 | Corresponding files with _g in the name can also be excluded.
|
|---|
| 135 | The corresponding man pages should be excluded for any excluded
|
|---|
| 136 | executables (with paths listed below beginning with bin/ ,

| 221 | Redistributable JDK(TM) Files
|
|---|
| 222 | -----------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|---|
| 223 |
|
|---|
| 224 | The limited set of files from the Java SE Development Kit (JDK)
|
|---|
| 225 | listed below may be included in vendor redistributions of the Java SE
|
|---|
| 226 | Runtime Environment. All paths are relative to the top-level
|
|---|
| 227 | directory of the JDK. The corresponding man pages should be included for
|
|---|
| 228 | any included executables (with paths listed below beginning with bin/ ,
|
|---|
| 229 | for 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:

| 273 | the dynamic attach mechanism.
|
|---|
| 274 |
|

| 275 | The dynamic attach mechanism consisting of the following files:

| 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.

| 313 | Unlimited Strength Java Cryptography Extension
|
|---|
| 314 | -----------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|---|
| 315 |
|
|---|
| 316 | Due to import control restrictions for some countries, the Java
|
|---|
| 317 | Cryptography Extension (JCE) policy files shipped with the Java SE
|
|---|
| 318 | Development Kit and the Java SE Runtime Environment allow strong but
|
|---|
| 319 | limited 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 |
|
|---|
| 324 | where <java-home> is the jre directory of the JDK or the
|
|---|
| 325 | top-level directory of the Java SE Runtime Environment.
|
|---|
| 326 |
|
|---|
| 327 | An unlimited strength version of these files indicating no restrictions
|
|---|
| 328 | on cryptographic strengths is available on the JDK web site for
|
|---|
| 329 | those living in eligible countries. Those living in eligible countries
|
|---|
| 330 | may download the unlimited strength version and replace the strong
|
|---|
| 331 | cryptography jar files with the unlimited strength files.

|

| 350 |
|

| 351 | From time to time it is necessary to update the Java platform in order

|
|---|
| 353 | the Java Community Process(SM) (JCP(SM) http://www.jcp.org/) (Endorsed

| 354 | Standards), or in order to update the version of a technology included
