Question

In our application, we’re going to package the JRE as an embedded DLL (to avoid typical Windows issue).

As our project is a typical Maven citizen, I would like to include that JRE as a Maven dependency, to use it later. But is there such an artifact available? And if not, what could be the preferred way to package it?

• zipping the whole JRE folder and uploading it to our Nexus?
• use a “magical” artifact?
• any other solution?

I think this was already touched here

Also if you are on Linux, then you can use RPM solution for application/server, but it is the solution more for deployment and not development.
