True.
Unfortunately, some applications directly fail if they don't have jre, or have strange errors. Or, they are supplied by a third party, with support. If there is an error, and you are not using jre, they refuse to help till you do (for instance, my government).
http://www.agenciatributaria.es/AEAT.internet/Inicio/Ayuda/Consultas_informa... Oops. Even the English version shows in Spanish, with an popup that the page has not been fully translated. It is the page with the technical requirements for Java in Linux, for use with the taxation government agency in Spain (AEAT). The first paragraph says: Nota: Sólo son compatibles las distribuciones que admitan Java 8 oficial de Oracle. Google (correctly) translates as: Note: Only compatible distributions that support official Oracle Java 8. That's why we need it... -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
