Thank you Doug. That link was just what I needed. In summary: As long as you don't actively opt not to install the public JRE while you are installing the j2sdk, Tomcat will run fine.
If I get a chance, I will try running 5.0.24 on a machine with the JRE not installed. If it still needs the public JRE, I'll make an attempt to get the issue added to the release notes. Again, Thanks. -Ben On Wednesday 19 May 2004 09:07 am, Parsons Technical Services wrote: > Hello, > > Not running TC on windows myself, but noted that a lot of talk about the > registry settings have been made on the list in the past I thought that > this line was noteworthy: > > "The private J2RE is required to run the tools included with the Java 2 > SDK.
