41. You need 7za.exe and 7zCon.sfx from the 7za folder to generate the self-extracting jre.exe 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:
117za\7za.exe a -sfx -mx=9 jre.exe path\to\your-jdk-version\jre
12
13* -sfx indicates that it will generate a self-extracting binary out of the input file
14* -mx=9 set its to ultra (compression? speed?)
15* the output file name expected by the release-kit is jre.exe
16* 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
