1Self-extracting jre instructions
2_________________________________
3
41. You need 7za and 7zCon.sfx from the p7z-essentials folder to generate the self-extracting jre from the jre
5
62. Need the jre for your java version.
7Java 8 should be used for Expeditee.
8The jre should be extracted into a folder named jre. Also, don't make it a tar file for Expeditee. (Greenstone expects the jre to be tarred up first.)
9
103. Run:
11./p7z-essentials/7za a -sfx -mx=9 jre_bin[_x64] /path/to/your-jdk-version/jre
12
13* -m0=lzma2 is already done automatically, setting the compression mode to lzma2.
14* -mx=9 set its to ultra (compression? speed?)
15* the output file name expected by the release-kit is jre_bin for 32 bit linux, jre_bin_x64 for 64 bit linux
16* -sfx indicates that it will generate a self-extracting binary out of the input file
17* the "a" indicates it will add the files from the input folder (the /path/to/your-jdk-version/jre in this case) to the output file
