          Description

          We need to create a new JRE bundle for our Windows installers using the latest Java 1.8 update.

          This requires

          • installing the latest version of Install4J (version 9)
          • install the latest release of Zulu Java 1.8 with JavaFX included (get it from Azul company web site)
          • get access to password for the Windows key
          • get access to the license key for Install4J (version 9)
          • check out IGB from the team repository
          • open the version 9 project file in the IGB code base
          • build the Windows installer

          in the process of building the installer, Install4J will make JRE "bundle" for Windows. We need to get this "bundle" and upload it to the Downloads section of a Bitbucket repository. This is here :

                • Needed to make sure that the settings on the media file and the general settings both used the same JRE from Zulu build of JDK.
                • To ensure we created the right thing, we deleted the cache directory so that we could observe the file we needed being created.
                • Location of the file we needed was: C:\Users\karth\AppData\Local\install4j\v9

                Install4J project for building IGB is configured to expect windows JDK/JRE to reside in an application folder:

                • /install4j/v9/jres/windows-amd64-1.8.0_241.tar.gz

                Moved into that location and downloaded with:

                wget https://bitbucket.org/lorainelab/jre-bundles-install4j/downloads/windows-amd64-1.8.0_332.tar.gz .

                Also got the Linux one for later with:

                wget https://bitbucket.org/lorainelab/jre-bundles-install4j/downloads/linux-amd64-1.8.0_332.tar.gz .
