jextract/jpackcore not packaged in Java 8 JDK for Windows #20661
jextract/jpackcore not packaged in Java 8 JDK for Windows #20661
Comments
Issue Number: 20661 |
This might be intentional, since you don't need to run jpackcore on Windows. I find it in the jre/bin directory for other platforms. |
The doc indicates AIX, Linux, macOS. |
We are excluding Windows on jdk8. I see in jdk11+ jextract/jpackcore are included. |
We could include it, but it does bundle all the dlls on Windows, which afaik aren't needed since the data is included in the core file. |
It's not present on Linux either (I checked 0.46.0). |
I see it in xlinux 0.46. It's in jre/bin and not bin. |
You're right (I didn't look there). Shouldn't it be in both places (in a JDK)? |
It wouldn't hurt but nobody is complaining about that afaik. |
I think because we are used to asking for system cores to be processed with jextract by default. I noticed that the docs for jextract don't mention Windows. I don't know for sure if we get everything we need without using jextract or not - it would be amusing if we've been asking for it for years without needing it. |
For the record, those tools were explicitly omitted via ibmruntimes/openj9-openjdk-jdk8#205. |

A customer reported not being able to find jextract in their Semeru Java 8 installation on Windows, so I downloaded the latest build of the jdk (ibm-semeru-open-jdk_x86-32_windows_8u432b06_openj9-0.48.0.zip) and confirmed that I couldn't find it either.
