Hi, is there a way to distribute a standalone console app (Non GUI). The integrated solution seems to work only for gui apps. Thank you all.

Apart from being inelegant perhaps, can a gui app that never shows its mainform be used as a substitute for a console app?
It seems simpler to make a standalone package for that then to have to download 400 MB of java separately for a console app?

Why 400 MB? Wouldn't JRE be enough for running the JAR file? JRE is around 80MB I think.
The info I found online seems to suggest that you have to download the whole shebang now, sdk and jdk but i could well be wrong

I don't know whether things have changed for new Java releases, but I've got several computers using my app; they've all got JRE 8, and none has JDK.
I think that is it, that it's no longer possible to do it that way with the newer releases.
