javajava-9java-14rt.jar

JDK 14 doesn't have rt.jar with it. Where are bootstrap classes then?

The only jar file I could find inside JAVA-HOME/lib was a file called jrt-fs.jar which is only 105 KB in size.

So where are Runtime (bootstrap) classes then?

Solution

  • The rt.jar file was removed in Java 9, but if you need to access the classfiles in the runtime, you can do so easily through the JRT file system. See, for example, https://stackoverflow.com/a/53897006/3553087.
