I don't want to run 'java' because I might not be able to, and I don't want to use some platform

to dig into binaries that may be located at any number of locations.
I'm looking for a very simple text file way to identify what I kind of jdk
image I have.
There are numerous ways to determine this as you point out, but none that remove the native binary
execution,
or grokking around inside binary files.
I'm wondering, why even jdk build group people still prefer this instead using the
"release" file.
