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.

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. Solaris and Linux filenames +and separators are shown.

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/ + +----------------------------------------------------------------------- +The Java(TM) Runtime Environment (JRE) and the JavaFX(TM) runtime are +products of Sun Microsystems(TM), Inc. + +Copyright © 2010 Sun Microsystems, Inc. +4150 Network Circle, Santa Clara, California 95054, U.S.A. +All rights reserved. + |
