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

For a more straightforward approach i wrote this little tool, which you can use under Windows: https://github.com/g3t00ls/OpenJDKtoOpenJRE

I personally use OpenJDK from: https://jdk.java.net/

It basicly does exactly what SteinarH wrote.

Currently it includes all java modules and exludes all jdk modules! A GUI to select required modules / an auto detect function for required modules for even smaller JRE's will probably be added soon! Currently it still needs jlink, so only >=v9 JDK's will work! This could change in the future!
