Disclosing the usage of the JRE in Windows Store submission

[seanquijote]

Hi @crramirez,

I recently submitted a Java Swing app to the Windows Store without using this skeleton, just directly used the Desktop App Converter on my installer.
The test result stated that I failed to follow their Security Policy 10.2.4.

Here is the content of the policy:

10.2.4

Your product may contain fully integrated middleware (such as third-party cross-platform engines and third-party analytics services), but must not deliver or install non-integrated third-party owned or branded products or modules unless they are fully contained in your package.

Your product may depend on non-integrated software (such as another product, module, or service) to deliver its primary functionality, subject to the following requirements:

• You disclose the dependency at the beginning of the description metadata
• The dependent software is available in the Store

If you wanna check it out for yourself, then here is the link :
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/legal/windows/agreements/store-policies#104-usability

I have successfully packed my Java app using your skeleton, but before I resubmit I wanna make sure that I will not run into this result again,

So about the Java app you successfully published in the Windows Store, did you disclose that your Java app contains or is dependent on a JRE?

I think that store thinks that you need JRE installed or depend on it. I didn't have any issues about it. But polices may be have changed. I suggest you to upload using the skeleton since if it fails it won't hurt because this is not a grave violation. If it fails you can try changing the JRE to openjdk one.

Alright, thanks for the suggestion.

I'll let you know about the result after I resubmit my app using the skeleton.
