### Note
This package unpacks the Java Server JRE version offered at https://www.java.com to the default directory "C:\tools\Java\server-jre\jre1.8.0_{version}".
If you wish to unpack to an alternate directory, use the `InstallationPath` parameter. Example:
`choco install server-jre8 -PackageParameters "/InstallationPath:c:\Program Files" -y`
The installation will also set the JAVA\_HOME environment variable to the destination directory if not present yet and add %JAVA\_HOME%/bin to the PATH environment.
This package is only available in 64-bit.
### Parameters
The following package parameters can be set:
* `/InstallationPath` - Install to a different destination folder. Default: `C:\tools\Java\server-jre`
* `/Force` - Force setting JAVA_HOME to the new version even if the variable was already set
* `/Machine` - Set JAVA_HOME and PATH on 'Machine' level, instead of 'User' level
These parameters can be passed to the installer with the use of `--packageParameters`.
