AFAIK
you can distribute the JRE. Check the license agreements for the
JRE. We've done it in the past.
You
cannot distribute the JDK.

OK, new setup and now my emails are not bouncing back to me when I post
to the group.
Has anyone had any experience using the CygWin GCJ
compiler to generate
native .EXE's from Java sources ? I'm still trying to
find a way to
distribute a Java program on a CD in a reliable fashion. At
this moment I'm
not sure if the license allows me to copy the JRE folders
to a disk and
launch everything via a custom windows application that sets
the classpath
variables and then launches javaw.exe with my main jar as a
parameter. It
works in the shop, but I'd rather not send this into the wild
without
knowing for certain I'm not breaking the rules.
My target market is Windows-based computers (bah!
to the critics) running Win98SE or later. Most of these systems are far away
from me and do not have a reliable internet connection. Downloading the JRE
and installing it is beyond the abilities of my target users. Also, I'd like
to NOT install anything on the HDD apart from a small folder in the user's
home folder to store some basic system settings. Any feedback would be
welcome.
Oh, of course, if I am not in violation of the
JRE license by distributing it on CD with my application I will be quite
comfortable going that route.
