    • open terminal, and execute commands
    • cd /path/of/your/jdk
    • python3 jrec.py
    • enter, wait
  • windows (not tested)
    • place jrec.py inside jdk folder
    • select file , and press enter, wait
• jre folder will appear in level of bin folder
  • jrec.py

This allow using resulted jdk with injected jre folder that packr work correct way , without breaking the flow.

why this was created

Some tools f.e. libgdx packr need jre folder inside jdk for correct work, because was updated before java change jdk structure.
Modern jdk (version 9+) have different structure of JDK , which break the packr work flow.
This script jrec.py generate the jre folder inside jdk folder , using jlink java tool.
