A key thing to add is that the jdk location in the conf file can be relative, so inside the application folder, and entirely local not "installed". And while the conf value may be called jdk, it can be a cut down (eg. jlink) runtime. All 3 OS versions of PraxisLIVE do this for InnoSetup installer, macOS app bundle and AppImage, the JDK is just unzipped inside an additional folder alongside bin, etc, and the other clusters. eg. https://github.com/praxis-live/praxis-live/blob/master/build.xml#L108 A while back I wrote a short bash script to create a NetBeans AppImage that does a similar thing, downloading the zip version of the IDE and a JDK. Only difference is it uses an additional simple launch script that passes --jdkhome if available. https://gist.github.com/neilcsmith-net/69bcb23bcc6698815438dc4e3df6caa3 I must update that for 12.4!
