今天说一下java环境构建中,jre相关的小知识点。
private jre:一般是C:Program Filesjdk1.8.0jre,必须安装,它为jdk的运行提供必需的环境。
public jre:一般是C:Program FilesJavajre1.8.0,可以选择安装。
如果,平时更新java版本,那么将会在public jre的目录下,添加新版本的jre。有人认为,public jre是多余的,会浪费磁盘空间,对于SSD来说,110M的空间还是很宝贵的,private jre足已。在某些Eclipse集成java版本中,里面就仅使用了private jre,可以应对运行的需求了。
可是,如果有一些java版本的匹配的需求的话,public jre应该就会体现它的作用了。
官方文档(https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/technotes/guides/install/windows_jdk_install.html#CHDJCCEG)如下:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Installing the JDK also installs a private JRE and optionally a public copy. The private JRE is required to run the tools included with the JDK. It has no registry settings and is contained entirely in a jre
directory (typically at C:Program Filesjdk1.8.0jre
) whose location is known only to the JDK. On the other hand, the public JRE can be used by other Java applications, is contained outside the JDK (typically at C:Program FilesJavajre1.8.0
), is registered with the Windows registry (at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREJavaSoft
), can be removed using Add/Remove Programs, might be registered with browsers, and might have the java.exe
file copied to the Windows system directory (which would make it the default system Java platform).
