You mean a JRE, because the whole JDK contains a bunch of things you're never going to need.

Mind you, a default JRE redistribution makes your app at least 100+MB. Using jdeps to strip out unneeded things is a good idea if you want it to get down to 25 ish MBs.

JREs haven't been a thing in like a decade I thought.

Yeah, saying JRE is a bit of a shortcut since you're supposed to jlink & jpackage & jdance &jpray to get a slimmed down JVM released with your app, but it's closer to what would be a JRE than a full JDK
