Do I need to have Java 9 installed to run the image generated by jLink?

[Sundararajan Athijegannathan]

Hi,

Right. The jvm and other shared objects are obviously platform dependent 
and so jlink produced binaries can only be run on specific target 
platform. That said, his question was about whether he still needs to 
install Java to use the produced image. I answered that question. (i.e., 
the image is complete and does not require java to be installed to use).

Thanks,
-Sundar
