Hi Esri-Team,

one of the major arguments for the ArcGIS Runtime is the fact that the end-user does not need any kind of special software or license on his/her local system. Does this include the JRE or is this a basic requirement because you need it to run Java programs at all.

Regards,

Martin

If a runtime environment is compulsory, is a special version necessary?

Thank you for your feedback!

Hi Martin,

Yes a JRE is required on the client machine in order to run an ArcGIS Runtime Java application.  Even through the Runtime is XCopy deployable, there are still some system level requirements that a machine must meet in order for the application to run. 

Regarding JRE versions the Runtime supports JRE 1.6 and 1.7.
