Java(TM) Platform, Standard Edition
|
||
Runtime Environment
|
||
Version 6
|
||
|
||
|
||
The Java(TM) Platform, Standard Edition Runtime Environment (JRE(TM)),
|
||
excluding the JavaFX(TM) runtime, 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)). The JRE installation triggers the
|
||
download of the JavaFX runtime. The JavaFX runtime is also available
|
||
separately, and is not part of the JRE. For information on JavaFX, and
|
||
how to make changes, go to: http://java.com/javafx
|
||
|
||
|
||
=======================================================================
|
||
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.
|
||
The Java SE 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
|
||
|
||
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||
Java Platform, Standard Edition Runtime Environment (JRE)
|
||
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||
|
||
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 Java SE Platform Runtime Environment's license. The
|
||
JavaFX runtime is only required to run applications written in the
|
||
JavaFX scripting language; it is freely available from Sun, and must
|
||
not be redistributed with your application.
|
||
|
||
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.
|
||
--------------------------------------------------------
|
||
|
||
Subject to the terms and conditions of the Software License
|
||
Agreement and the obligations, restrictions, and exceptions set
|
||
forth below, You may reproduce and distribute the Software (and
|

|
||
all Programs and/or Software.
|
||
|
||
The term "vendors" used here refers to licensees, developers, and
|
||
independent software vendors (ISVs) who license and distribute the
|
||
Java SE Runtime Environment with their programs.
|
||
|
||
Vendors must follow the terms of the Java SE Runtime Environment Binary
|
||
Code License agreement.
|
||
|
||
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||
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).
|
||

|
||
with a custom launcher, the following files are also
|
||
optional. These are libraries and executables that are used
|
||
for Java support in Internet Explorer and Mozilla family browsers;
|
||
these files are not needed in a private JRE redistribution.

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]
|
||

|
||
and Linux]
|
||
bin/sparcv9/apt [Solaris Operating System
|
||
(SPARC(R) Platform Edition)]
|
||
bin/amd64/apt [Solaris Operating System (AMD)]
|
||
bin/apt.exe [Microsoft Windows]
|
||
|
||
lib/jconsole.jar
|
||
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
|
||
[Solaris(TM) Operating System (SPARC(R) Platform Edition) and Linux]
|
||
jre/lib/i386/libattach.so
|
||
[Solaris(TM) Operating System (x86) and Linux]
|
||

|
||
[Solaris(TM) Operating System (AMD) and Linux]
|
||
jre\bin\attach.dll [Microsoft Windows]
|
||
|
||
The Java Platform Debugger Architecture implementation consisting of the
|
||
files shown in the dynamic attach section above, and the following files:
|
||
lib/tools.jar [All platforms]
|
||
lib/sa-jdi.jar [All platforms]
|
||
jre/lib/sparc/libsaproc.so
|
||
[Solaris(TM) Operating System (SPARC(R) Platform Edition) and Linux]
|
||
jre/lib/sparcv9/libsaproc.so
|
||
[Solaris(TM) Operating System (SPARC(R) Platform Edition) and Linux]
|
||
jre/lib/i386/libsaproc.so
|
||
[Solaris(TM) Operating System (x86) and Linux]
|
||
jre/lib/amd64/libsaproc.so
|
||
[Solaris(TM) Operating System (AMD) and Linux]
|
||
|
||
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/
