cd jre
tar cvf minix-x86-1.5.0.tar *
gzip minix-x86-1.5.0.tar
cp minix-x86-1.5.0.tar.gz /usr/install4j/jres
First you change into the top-level directory of the JRE, then you tar all files and directories and
gzip the tar archive. The last step copies the bundle into the directory {install4j installation directory}/jres.
You have to restart install4j for the JRE to be listed in the "Bundled JRE" step of the media file wizard.
