JBK download installer has the following functionalities:
The user can select the version of JREs to be installed.
You can install the two versions of JRE 6 and 7. It is recommended, however, to install only necessary ones to reduce the amount of downloading size.
Install the JBK plugin and GUI library.
Install the same library version of the GUI library as that of the selected JRE.
The user can customize JBK Plugin property files in advance.
Before storing the installer on a Web server, the user can customize the JBK Plugin setting files (jbkplugin.properties and jbkplugin.policy) in advance. These customized setting files can be distributed to all client machines.
The user can use silent installation.
The silent installation performs automatic installation. No dialogs are displayed and the user does not have to respond during installation. This function can be used if the installation folders and installation options are the same on all client machines.
Note
