How to extract ONLY the contents of the JDK installer

Question

I just downloaded the Java SDK/JDK versions 5 and 6, and I just need the development tools (and some libraries) contained in the installation packages, I don\'t need to perform

Answer 1

I've created cygwin script to do that: https://gist.github.com/4ndrew/f9dca61cedf0e8340b54

#!/bin/sh
# usage example: prepareJdk.sh jdk-7u67-windows-x64.exe (result will be in jdk/)
# Requires: p7zip, unzip

JDK_EXE=$1
7z x -ojdk "$JDK_EXE"
unzip jdk/tools.zip -d jdk/

find jdk/ -type f \( -name "*.exe" -o -name "*.dll" \) -exec chmod u+rwx {} \;

rm jdk/tools.zip
find jdk/ -type f -name "*.pack" | while read eachFile; do
   echo "Unpacking $eachFile ...";
  ./jdk/bin/unpack200.exe $eachFile ${eachFile%.pack}.jar;
  rm $eachFile;
done
