When deploying a Java application, can I assume that every computer has java, and so is able to run my application? I’ve just created a java app, which works on my computer, but my boss (who generally uses .NET) claims it doesn’t work at all. Should I assume that this will happen often, or will most consumers have java?
You can also deploy a jre along with your application. Many 3rd party applications do this to ensure that the proper version of Java is available on the system. There are pros and cons with each approach.
You will want to refer to the license information about redistributing the jre contained in the jre folder ( e.g C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre6\README.txt – or wherever your install is ) to ensure you follow the proper procedures.
