I do the same thing on Windows. I try to "install" as little software as possible, and just keep a directory that has all of my software and a few scripts to create start menu shortcuts, file associations, etc.

You should be able to extract an msi with the right msiexec command line switches.

I thought of that. I can often extract MSIs using 7zip. I was about to download until I read that it can only be used for development purposes. Apparently I have to agree not to redistribute it. No thanks Red Hat.

Elsewhere in this thread I discovered:

And I already knew about:

The more OpenJDK folders I have to test against (on both Linux and Windows), the better. Just change environment variables.
