Are there many java applications that bundle the jre?
- pjmlp 11y agoYes, it is quite common in desktop applications to do so. Usually you get the option to use the bundled one or whatever is available if one is detected already on the system. To the point that is one of the options of the new Java application packer introduced with Java 8. Also in all server deployments that we do for our customers, Java is just another configuration of the whole application packaging. Also many companies don't mind paying for commercial Java AOT compilers to native code, which then puts their Java code in the same league as Go.
- technion 11y agoI really wish more applications would do it. The situation here landed with running two different RDS servers, and users having to manage running applications from different environments simultaneously. Because some Salesforce product required a specific version of Java and Oracle's PMS software required a specific, different version of Java. And both vendors only support their products by having it run with only the correct version of Java installed. And then I have this VM with this ancient version of Java I can't even find for download any more so that I can use the management interface for Brocade FC switches.
