Unlike Unix or Linux, there is not portable installer. Instead we need to make it. For your convenience, below are portable versions we have already made,
Drop some versions here.
To make your own portable version begin by setting up a test machine that matches the platform you need. We usually use VMWare to easily create test machines without the need for additional hardware.
Go to the Java website, choose the JRE or JDK based on your platform and needs. Download the requisite installer file and install with default settings on your test machine. For older versions of Java go to the Java Archives site.
Once setup, copy "C:\Program Files\Java" directory to your development machine placing it under your eclipse directory and renaming the Java directory. It is recommended to duplicate the format used by Unix and LInux .bin files and specifying 32-bit versus 64-bit. Your directory should look something like this,
- C:\apps\eclipse\jre1.6.0_18_32-bit
- /home/tpham/apps/eclipse/jre1.6.0_18_32-bit
