Does anybody know why Compose will attempt to use any version of Java that's present as

YourApp.exe/../jre

? That is, if your application's folder has a folder named

jre

next to it containing a valid JRE (any version), your Compose application will try to use that java instead of its bundled one - and silently crash, of course.

it's probably a

jpackage

behavior and not something Compose does
