JRE stopped existing in Java 8. The idea now is you "link" a JVM for your app, which customizes and optimizes it. Then you ship both together. It's the fully supported way and has no license implications.
Seems like the new Oracle JDK license is a lot more flexible than before. In reality it's kind of cosmetic because lots of people were using the (100% compatible) Amazon or Azul spins, or just regular OpenJDKs.
- jollybean 5y agoSo the comments above seem to indicate that bundling 'JRE' with an app requires a license. Are you indicating that post-java8 model which builds a 'Custom JRE', and distributing that with your app does not require a license?
- native_samples 5y agoCorrect. It doesn't count as either a JDK or JRE once linked.
