Hi Dailbor, For Windows, I know the JDK only comes as a Windows Installer, but is their a reason that the JDK cannot be downloaded as a ZIP file? When it comes to the several companies I've been in, it's not a preferred practice that the JDK actually gets installed this way.
Likewise, I wish not to "install" it on my computer. In the absence of a ZIP file, I actually run the installer to place the JDK in its canonical location (e.g., leaving the defaults), then copy the contents to another directory, and then uninstall it. Why the switch-a-roo? I uninstall it to get it out of Windows management -- don't want it in my Registry or Control Panel. This is a tool I manage myself for development. I also ZIP the contents to archive it for later, if I ever need to reinstall from scratch. It's a pattern I see myself and others do habitually for several years. So if there's any insight you can provide on why a Windows ZIP doesn't exist (policy? hasn't been asked for?), I would appreciate it. Thank you!
