The Java Runtime Environment, or JRE, is a software layer that runs on top of a computer’s operating system software and provides the class libraries and other resources that a specific Java program needs to run. The Java Development Kit, or JDK, is a set of tools for developing Java applications. This article will serve as an informative guide and give you a clear understanding of how to perform a silent installation of Java 10.0.1 from the command line using both EXE & MSI installers.

Java JRE Static Installation

If you perform a static installation of the JRE (by specifying the command-line or configuration file option STATIC=1), then the Java Auto Update feature will leave that JRE installed during a Java update. A later version of the same JRE family will be installed in a separate directory. This mode ensures that vendors, who require a specific version of the JRE for their product, can be certain that the JRE will not be overwritten by a newer version.
