Some extra info from Wikipedia, in case you want to consider other JDK bundling options: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenJDK#OpenJDK_builds [https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/18/OpenJDK_logo.svg/200px-OpenJDK_logo.svg.png]

Re: Releasing a Netbeans platform application to the general public

Thanks all for your feedback. I checked the new Oracle license : I understood that I can use JRE on my own computer, but I can NOT bundle it and redistribute it. So I have the following choices: 1/ bundle a JRE and it must be OpenJDKor 2/ have the installer check if a JRE is there, and if not,

Re: Releasing a Netbeans platform application to the general public

Something else to note, if you bundle the JRE, make sure Oracle's new licensing fits your case. I must admit I don't quite understand it fully, but in the case of the newest Java 8 releases, it might be something to consider. Emilio From: Jerome Lelasseux Sent

Re: Releasing a Netbeans platform application to the general public

Well, you could have installation instructions initially explaining how and where to get the JRE from and where to reference it in the conf file of the app for your initial release. Gj On Sun, 15 Sep 2019 at 12:36, Jerome Lelasseux wrote: > I see. I thought most Windows users had a JRE installe

I see. I thought most Windows users had a JRE installed... Bundling a JRE adds 40MB to my 18MB package, it's a pity... Is there a way to do it simply directly from Netbeans ? I'll need 2 different packages for 32/64bits ? Same for the signing process, no idea from where to start, I'll Google it

Re: Releasing a Netbeans platform application to the general public

Congrats with this app, eager to see at least screenshots. Indeed, bundling a JRE would make sense. Gj On Sun, 15 Sep 2019 at 12:27, Jerome Lelasseux wrote: > I mentionned Java7 as a minimum version, actually the application works > fine with JDK12 too. > > > Le dimanche 15 septembre 2019 à 17:

Re: Releasing a Netbeans platform application to the general public

I mentionned Java7 as a minimum version, actually the application works fine with JDK12 too. Le dimanche 15 septembre 2019 à 17:41:33 UTC+2, Thomas Wolf a écrit : I can’t speak for general users, but in enterprises you can’t assume Java - much less an ancient one like 7.   I don’t eve

Re: Releasing a Netbeans platform application to the general public

Especially for non technical users you can assume they will have no Java so you must include a JRE. I recommend AdoptOpenJDK 11. Signed installers would be nice if you don't want Windows to scare away your users. --emi dum., 15 sept. 2019, 18:22 Jerome Lelasseux a scris: > Hello, > > I develop

Re: Releasing a Netbeans platform application to the general public

I can’t speak for general users, but in enterprises you can’t assume Java - much less an ancient one like 7. I don’t even think that’s available for download anymore, is it? If that’s all you’ve tested with, i think you’d have to include it with your installation. Just my opinion, of course.

Releasing a Netbeans platform application to the general public

Hello, I develop in my spare time a Netbeans platform music application targeted at individual musicians (professional or amateur). The application is based on NB11/Java7. I test it on Win10(x64) and on a Linux Mint distribution, though I expect most of the users will be on Windows. At the begin
