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 +also portions of Software identified below as Redistributable), +provided that: + +(a) you distribute the Software complete and unmodified and only + bundled as part of your applets and applications ("Programs"), + +(b) your Programs add significant and primary functionality to the + Software, + +(c) your Programs are only intended to run on Java-enabled general + purpose desktop computers and servers, + +(d) you distribute Software for the sole purpose of running your + Programs, + +(e) you do not distribute additional software intended to replace + any component(s) of the Software, + +(f) you do not remove or alter any proprietary legends or notices + contained in or on the Software, + +(g) you only distribute the Software subject to a license agreement + that protects Sun's interests consistent with the terms + contained in this Agreement, and + +(h) you agree to defend and indemnify Sun and its licensors from + and against any damages, costs, liabilities, settlement amounts + and/or expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred in + connection with any claim, lawsuit or action by any third party + that arises or results from the use or distribution of any 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.
