Re: Why isn't Java support part of Postgresql core?

John,

You are confusing a private JRE installation with the public JRE
installation (yes, there is such a thing). The public JRE is found in
java/jre8. The private JRE is found in java/jdk1.8.0_20/jre.

http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/jdk-8-readme-2095712.html#redistribution
gives you permission to redistribute the JRE directory that ships inside
each JDK installation. If you dig into jre/bin/server you will find jvm.dll.

As far as I know, creating and redistributing a private JRE should be
very easy to do. Plenty of organizations do it and it works well.
