Can I copy the jdk installation folder

Question

I can't find a version of one jdk installer. Can I just copy the jdk installation folder from another computer to mine without install it ?

Solution 1

yes you can copy the installation directory, only change you need to do is to change you JAVA_HOME and PATH variable accordingly...

Solution 2

Are you saying you can't find jdk 1.5, how about this: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javasebusiness/downloads/java-archive-downloads-javase5-419410.html

You can also find all the old versions of Java here: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/archive-139210.html

@Abderrahim Yep, it works fine for us, it means the users don't have to install the jvm's and it e can control when it gets updated (for our app)

And i edited with a link to the archive, with all the versions.

I am looking for JDK 1.7.0.19

Then find it in the archive link i posted (the second one). You cant expect everything to be hand-fed to you.

I did, but c'ant find it :(

Also, why do you need such a specific version. I think you'll do just fine with any 1.7 version.

I just tried this for a jdk1.8.0_40 and it didn't work. After installation it said that it could not find the Object class.
