Hi Hugues, We’re so glad to hear that you’re part of a chorus of happy consumers! You made our day. We’ll get back to you, and it’s good that you’ve already found the JRE Compact 3 build. Thanks for a great post and we hope you continue to participate in the Zulu Forum. Stay tuned. – Sue

Hugues,

I am also glad you are finding the Zulu OpenJDK builds to your liking.

The quick answer is there are no public links for Zulu JRE packages. Those are part of the Zulu Embedded product line, for which Azul is providing “matched set” builds of specific Java level, processor family, bitness, and profile, with footprints ranging from JDK, JRE, Compact Profile 3, 2, or 1 and headless packages, sent directly to customers. These paid orders fund our ability to do more open source work and continue to offer the full JDK downloads for free.

The long answer is we have provided a few of the JRE builds in the Zulu Embedded inventory free upon request to delitescere and others for open source work. Once a build (or what we call a target) is created for one customer order, it’s definition remains in our Zulu Embedded build system, and new images of the target get rebuilt periodically. We granted delitescere his Compact Profile 3 request after he contacted Azul directly, typically best done using this form:
http://info.azul.com/2015-Contact-Request-General_LP.html
but we fulfilled it only because we already had that particular configuration being built as a target in the Zulu build system. Officially we hadn’t added Alpine Linux to the Zulu matrix, and our Docker images today are only full JDKs on CentOS, Debian, and Ubuntu, so the request was a “Sure, give this a try” type of gamble. We are thrilled it actually worked.

If there is enough clamor for an Alpine Linux Compact 3 JRE Docker image built periodically by Azul, then I can indeed take that request into Azul’s product planning cycle. That’s basically how the exiting Zulu Docker files with full JDKs got created too. Until then, please file specific individual requests (or ask delitescere to repeat his!)

Noted! Many thanks for clarifying this. I am good with the current build for now.
I am grateful that I can use it as it is and let the Docker community also reuse it.
Cheers,
Hugues

Just a note I’ve updated to the u72 release. I’m hoping for a cp1 release too 🙂
