I was able to confirm the JDK is not required to run OFBiz. I could use startofbiz.sh to launch and it appeared to work just fine. I had to save off my database (using postgres) and load it on the deployment machine (ie no building at all I had an issue even loading ant, so my install had no ant at all, just a copy of my ofbiz (with my hot-deploy). I may not have touched on any components that require the JDK. If any one has more info please let me know. My boss was very interested in only deploying with the JRE. I spent a bit of time trying to find out about deploying the JDK and Oracle was very difficult for me to get a simple answer. I tried email, calling, online chat etc. I did eventually get an email for the license department and they blew me off, but I got some guy saying I needed to talk to sales, but they were the folks who gave me the licensing lady. I am not sure if any one at Oracle can say if we need a license when deploying machines with ofbiz and JDK or what it would cost. So I am very happy OFBiz ran ok with just the JRE.
