- Java(TM) Platform, Standard Edition
- Runtime Environment
- Version 6
-
-
- The Java(TM) Platform, Standard Edition Runtime Environment (JRE) is
- intended for software developers and vendors to redistribute with
- their applications.
-
- The Java SE Runtime Environment contains the Java virtual machine,
- runtime class libraries, and Java application launcher that are
- necessary to run programs written in the Java programming language.
- It is not a development environment and does not contain development
- tools such as compilers or debuggers. For development tools, see the
- Java SE Development Kit (JDK(TM)).
-
-
- =======================================================================
- Deploying Applications with the Java SE Runtime Environment
- =======================================================================
-
- When you deploy an application written in the Java programming
- language, your software bundle will probably consist of the following
- parts:
-
- Your own class, resource, and data files.
- A runtime environment.
- An installation procedure or program.
-
- You already have the first part, of course. The remainder of this
- document covers the other two parts. See also the Notes for Developers
- page on the Java Software website:
-
- http://java.sun.com/javase/6/webnotes/runtime.html
-
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------
- Runtime Environment
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- To run your application, a user needs the Java SE Runtime Environment,
- which is freely available from Sun. Or, you can redistribute the
- Java SE Runtime Environment for free with your application, according
- to the terms of the Runtime Environment's license.
-
- The final step in the deployment process occurs when the software is
- installed on an individual user's system. Installation consists of copying
- software onto the user's system, then configuring the user's system
- to support that software. You should ensure that your installation
- procedure does not overwrite existing JRE installations, as they may
- be required by other applications.
-
-
- =======================================================================
- Redistribution of the Java SE Runtime Environment (JRE)
- =======================================================================
-
- --------------------------------------------------------
- NOTE - The license for this software does not allow the
- redistribution of beta and other pre-release versions.

-
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------
- Required vs. Optional Files
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- The files that make up the Java SE Runtime Environment are divided into
- two categories: required and optional. Optional files may be excluded
- from redistributions of the Java SE Runtime Environment at the
- vendor's discretion.
-
- The following section contains a list of the files and directories that
- may optionally be omitted from redistributions with the Java SE Runtime
- Environment. All files not in these lists of optional files must be
- included in redistributions of the runtime environment.
-
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------
- Optional Files and Directories
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- The following files may be optionally excluded from redistributions.
- These files are located in the jre1.6.0_<version> directory, where
- <version> is the update version number. Solaris and Linux filenames
- and separators are shown. Windows executables have the ".exe" suffix.
- Corresponding files with _g in the name can also be excluded.
- The corresponding man pages should be excluded for any excluded
- executables (with paths listed below beginning with bin/ ,
- for the Solaris(TM) Operating System and Linux).

- Redistributable JDK(TM) Files
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- The limited set of files from the Java SE Development Kit (JDK)
- listed below may be included in vendor redistributions of the Java SE
- Runtime Environment. All paths are relative to the top-level
- directory of the JDK. The corresponding man pages should be included for
- any included executables (with paths listed below beginning with bin/ ,
- for the Solaris(TM) Operating System and Linux).
-
- jre/lib/cmm/PYCC.pf
- Color profile. This file is required only if one wishes to
- convert between the PYCC color space and another color space.
-
- All .ttf font files in the jre/lib/fonts directory.
- Note that the LucidaSansRegular.ttf font is already contained
- in the Java SE Runtime Environment, so there is no need to
- bring that file over from the JDK.
-
- jre/lib/audio/soundbank.gm
- This MIDI soundbank is present in the JDK, but it has
- been removed from the Java SE Runtime Environment in order to
- reduce the size of the Runtime Environment's download bundle.
- However, a soundbank file is necessary for MIDI playback, and
- therefore the JDK's soundbank.gm file may be included in
- redistributions of the Runtime Environment at the vendor's
- discretion. Several versions of enhanced MIDI soundbanks are
- available from the Java Sound web site:
- http://java.sun.com/products/java-media/sound/
- These alternative soundbanks may be included in redistributions
- of the Java SE Runtime Environment.
-
- The javac bytecode compiler, consisting of the following files:
- bin/javac [Solaris(TM) Operating System
- and Linux]
- bin/sparcv9/javac [Solaris Operating System
- (SPARC(R) Platform Edition)]
- bin/amd64/javac [Solaris Operating System (AMD)]

- The Jconsole application. NOTE: The Jconsole application requires
- the dynamic attach mechanism.
-
- The dynamic attach mechanism consisting of the following files:
- lib/tools.jar [All platforms]
- jre/lib/sparc/libattach.so
- [Solaris(TM) Operating System (SPARC(R) Platform Edition) and Linux]
- jre/lib/sparcv9/libattach.so

-
- jre\bin\server\
- On Microsoft Windows platforms, the JDK includes both
- the Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM and Java HotSpot Client VM.
- However, the Java SE Runtime Environment for Microsoft Windows
- platforms includes only the Java HotSpot Client VM. Those wishing
- to use the Java HotSpot Server VM with the Java SE Runtime
- Environment may copy the JDK's jre\bin\server folder to a
- bin\server directory in the Java SE Runtime Environment. Software
- vendors may redistribute the Java HotSpot Server VM with their
- redistributions of the Java SE Runtime Environment.

- -----------------------------------------------------------------------
- Unlimited Strength Java Cryptography Extension
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Due to import control restrictions for some countries, the Java
- Cryptography Extension (JCE) policy files shipped with the Java SE
- Development Kit and the Java SE Runtime Environment allow strong but
- limited cryptography to be used. These files are located at
-
- <java-home>/lib/security/local_policy.jar
- <java-home>/lib/security/US_export_policy.jar
-
- where <java-home> is the jre directory of the JDK or the
- top-level directory of the Java SE Runtime Environment.
-
- An unlimited strength version of these files indicating no restrictions
- on cryptographic strengths is available on the JDK web site for
- those living in eligible countries. Those living in eligible countries
- may download the unlimited strength version and replace the strong
- cryptography jar files with the unlimited strength files.
-
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------
- The cacerts Certificates File
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Root CA certificates may be added to or removed from the Java SE
- certificate file located at
-
- <java-home>/lib/security/cacerts
-
- For more information, see The cacerts Certificates File section
- in the keytool documentation at:
-
- http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/tooldocs/solaris/keytool.html#cacerts
-
- =======================================================================
- Endorsed Standards Override Mechanism
- =======================================================================
-
- From time to time it is necessary to update the Java platform in order
- to incorporate newer versions of standards that are created outside of
- the Java Community Process(SM) (JCP(SM) http://www.jcp.org/) (Endorsed
- Standards), or in order to update the version of a technology included
- in the platform to correspond to a later standalone version of that
- technology (Standalone Technologies).
-
- The Endorsed Standards Override Mechanism provides a means whereby
- later versions of classes and interfaces that implement Endorsed
- Standards or Standalone Technologies may be incorporated into the Java
- Platform.
-
- For more information on the Endorsed Standards Override Mechanism,
- including the list of platform packages that it may be used to
- override, see
-
- http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/technotes/guides/standards/
