Create jre from OpenJDK Windows

Question

We are switching from Oracle JDK/JRE to OpenJDK. Now I found only the JDK but I want to have a JRE as well from OpenJDK. This is for installing our application on the client

Answer 1

I'm using openjdk 11 in place of jre8 since oracle announced the license change. My customers were unhappy about them changing the agreement.

To get it to work, all I had to do was rename the sdk folder to jre.

One problem I did have was an external library dll. where open jdk complained it could no longer find in the class path. To fix that I just copied the dlls to the system32 folder.

Hope this helps
