JRE Bundle Wizard

     


  With the JRE bundle wizard you can create JRE bundles for install4j from any JRE installation on your disk. For more information on JRE bundles and on how they are used by install4j, please see the corresponding help topic.

Please check first, if one of the JREs provided by ej-technologies' JRE download server fits your needs.

  The JRE bundle wizard is started by choosing Project->Create a JRE bundle from install4j's main menu. The JRE bundle wizard leads you step by step through the process of choosing the desired JRE and creating an install4j bundle from it.

In the "Select JRE" step of the wizard you define the origin, the version and the identifier for your JRE bundle:

  • Java home directory
    Select the Java home directory of the JRE. It is possible to select a JDK, however, after a confirmation dialog the bundle will be created from the included JRE.
  • Java version
    Enter the version of the JRE. Do not include any build information, the version number should look like 1.4.2.
  • Custom ID
    In order to be able to identify your JRE in the "Bundled JRE" step of the media file wizard and to distinguish it from JREs with the same OS, architecture and Java version, a custom ID is required. The custom ID should be a short identifier, like custom.
