Hey all -
A couple of years ago we started creating and distributing a Windows-only bundle that included the JRE - this was useful for those who did not have a JRE (especially in training). As our training is moving towards a VM-based approach, this bundle is not needed anymore for that purpose. So I'd like to ask: would you be OK if we were to stop producing the Windows-JRE-embedded bundle for Liferay 7? Some stats that I think are relevant:
- For 6.2 CE GA4, there are
> 100k downloads of the Tomcat bundle. There are only
550 downloads of the Tomcat+JRE bundle.
- Liferay 7 requires a full JDK (not just a JRE) which introduces
new redistribution clauses from Oracle, which haven't been explored, but seem restrictive on first read.
- The current bundle includes a JRE 6 bundle, which is ancient and is an additional test burden to keep up to date even if we did ship it for Liferay 7.
Thoughts?
