WARNING

This package was rejected on 25 Jun 2019. The reviewer chocolatey-ops has listed the following reason(s):

rgra (maintainer) on 21 May 2019 12:53:51 +00:00:

User 'rgra' (maintainer) submitted package.

chocolatey-ops (reviewer) on 21 May 2019 13:27:24 +00:00:

server-jre8 has passed automated validation. It may have or may still fail other checks like testing (verification).
NOTE: No required changes that the validator checks have been flagged! It is appreciated if you fix other items, but only Requirements will hold up a package version from approval. A human review could still turn up issues a computer may not easily find.

Guidelines

Guidelines are strong suggestions that improve the quality of a package version. These are considered something to fix for next time to increase the quality of the package. Over time Guidelines can become Requirements. A package version can be approved without addressing Guideline comments but will reduce the quality of the package.

  • The package script downloads a file outside of using built-in helpers. Scripts should use the built-in helpers to download files. More...

server-jre8 has failed automated testing.
This is not the only check that is performed so check the package page to ensure a 'Ready' status.
Please visit https://gist.github.com/b77ab99c036aa93afab896e5f3852377 for details.
The package status will be changed and will be waiting on your next actions.

  • NEW! We have a test environment for you to replicate the testing we do. This can be used at any time to test packages! See https://github.com/chocolatey/chocolatey-test-environment
  • Please log in and leave a review comment if you have questions and/or comments.
  • If you see the verifier needs to rerun testing against the package without resubmitting (a issue in the test results), you can do that on the package page in the review section.
  • If the verifier is incompatible with the package, please log in and leave a review comment if the package needs to bypass testing (e.g. package installs specific drivers).
  • Automated testing can also fail when a package is not completely silent or has pop ups (AutoHotKey can assist - a great example is the VeraCrypt package).
  • A package that cannot be made completely unattended should have the notSilent tag. Note that this must be approved by moderators.

chocolatey-ops (reviewer) on 10 Jun 2019 13:51:22 +00:00:

We've found server-jre8 v8.0.212 in a submitted status and waiting for your next actions. It has had no updates for 20 or more days since a reviewer has asked for corrections. Please note that if there is no response or fix of the package within 15 days of this message, this package version will automatically be closed (rejected) due to being stale.

Take action:

  • Log in to the site and respond to the review comments.
  • Resubmit fixes for this version.
  • If the package version is failing automated checks, you can self-reject the package.

If your package is failing automated testing, you can use the chocolatey test environment to manually run the verification and determine what may need to be fixed.

Note: We don't like to see packages automatically rejected. It doesn't mean that we don't value your contributions, just that we can not continue to hold packages versions in a waiting status that have possibly been abandoned. If you don't believe you will be able to fix up this version of the package within 15 days, we strongly urge you to log in to the site and respond to the review comments until you are able to.

chocolatey-ops (reviewer) on 25 Jun 2019 13:54:16 +00:00:

Unfortunately there has not been progress to move server-jre8 v8.0.212 towards an approved status within 15 days after the last review message, so we need to close (reject) the package version at this time. If you want to pick this version up and move it towards approval in the future, use the contact site admins link on the package page and we can move it back into a submitted status so you can submit updates.

Status Change - Changed status of package from 'submitted' to 'rejected'.

Description

Server JRE (Server Java Runtime Environment) for deploying Java applications on servers. Includes tools for JVM monitoring and tools commonly required for server applications, but does not include browser integration (the Java plug-in), auto-update, nor an installer.

Note

The Oracle JDK License has changed for releases starting April 16, 2019. Please only use this package if you have purchased a valid license for your environment.

This package unpacks the Java Server JRE version offered at https://www.java.com to the default directory "C:\tools\Java\server-jre\jre1.8.0_{version}".

If you wish to unpack to an alternate directory, use the InstallationPath parameter. Example:
choco install server-jre8 -PackageParameters "/InstallationPath:c:\Program Files" -y

The installation will also set the JAVA_HOME environment variable to the destination directory if not present yet and add %JAVA_HOME%/bin to the PATH environment.

This package is only available in 64-bit.

Parameters

The following package parameters can be set:

  • /InstallationPath - Install to a different destination folder. Default: C:\tools\Java\server-jre
  • /Force - Force setting JAVA_HOME to the new version even if the variable was already set
  • /Machine - Set JAVA_HOME and PATH on 'Machine' level, instead of 'User' level

These parameters can be passed to the installer with the use of --packageParameters.

For example: choco install server-jre8 --packageParameters '"/InstallationPath:C:\tools\Java /Force /Machine"'.

In cases where actual malware is found, the packages are subject to removal. Software sometimes has false positives. Moderators do not necessarily validate the safety of the underlying software, only that a package retrieves software from the official distribution point and/or validate embedded software against official distribution point (where distribution rights allow redistribution).

Chocolatey Pro provides runtime protection from possible malware.
