Description
I like to keep the size of the executable as small as possible.
Can I create the binary that makes use of installed JRE or JDK in Linux instead of expecting one when building the binary?
Thanks

Research direction
The issue names no file, test, or entry point. Start by locating packr's Linux packaging path and how it handles the bundled JVM, then determine whether using an installed JRE or JDK is supported. Done would require a clear answer or a scoped implementation plan, with validation of the resulting Linux binary.
