Hey! I've been reading about how to deploy my project, but I can't figure out how to bundle it with an jre. I've looked at packr and read the README.md, and it gives this link:
https://github.com/alexkasko/openjdk-unofficial-builds

However, that project is discontinued. I can't figure out how to make my own builds to use for my own proejcts. Can someone point me in the right direction?

Thanks.

The unofficial-build GitHub project links to https://github.com/ojdkbuild/ojdkbuild which has a few downloads, though I doubt anyone has tested them with packr yet. Plus there is no OS X build yet.

I did a brief test with bundling the Oracle JRE, and it did work well. Though the redistributable license agreement seems... controversial, and the bundle size is larger than with OpenJDK.

There are downloads at https://jdk8.java.net/download.html but they only seem to link the latest early access builds, and only using pesky installers.

Azul Zulu is free to use and provides convenient ZIP archives at http://www.azul.com/downloads/zulu/. I only tried them very briefly, but at a first glance they look like a nice alternative.

Thank you!
