jre_order

To configure the JRE Find Order

Introduction

Generated exe files can find JRE on host by many ways. 'jre_order' is to configure how generated exe finds JRE.

The default value of jre_order is "cbsie", each letter stands for a way to find JRE:

  • c - Configured JRE by 'jvmdll'
  • b - Bundled JRE which is configured by 'jre'
  • s - Installed SUN JRE (Windows) / or 'java' symbol link (Linux)
  • i - Installed IBM JRE (Windows)
  • e - Environment JAVA_HOME or JRE_HOME

Change Find Order

You can change the find order by change the letter sequence.

For example:

jre_order ecbsi

is to tell generated exe to find JRE from environment JAVA_HOME first.

Disable One of Them

If one of the letters is missing, the corresponding way to find JRE is disabled.

For example:

jre_order s

is to tell generated exe to find from registry / or 'java' symbol link only, ignoring JAVA_HOME and jvmdll.

If none of the letters exists, generated exe will use the default "cbsie".

Windows Store requires latest Java to be installed

Submitted by Dale Seng on

It has been discovered that if the Java runtime is not up to date, the exe generated by Jar2Exe might emit the "invalid Java runtime" error.  So if this error is encountered, the first thing to try would be to install the latest version of Java on the machine in question.

msix Package for Windows Store

Submitted by Dale Seng on

When the executive from Jar2Exe is installed on Windows 10 directly, everything works fine, as expected.

When the same executive is packaged for the "Microsoft Store" (msix package), installs show the message "invalid Java runtime", and the program does not run.

Using Jar2Exe 2.2 Personal Base, licenced.

Are there any suggestions for changes to the build such that this error can be avoided?
