Question

Answer 1

The whole structure with Java 11 has changed. Java is now a modular platform, where you can create your own "JRE" distribution with specifically the modules that you need to run your application.

The release notes at https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/11-relnote-issues-5012449.html have the following sentence:

In this release, the JRE or Server JRE is no longer offered. Only the JDK is offered. Users can use jlink to create smaller custom runtimes.
