I just installed it and found this:

EAGLE> dir disk$bigdisk:[vms$common.java$150.jre]

Directory DISK$BIGDISK:[VMS$COMMON.JAVA$150.JRE]

BIN.DIR;1           LIB.DIR;1           PLUGIN.DIR;1
THIRDPARTYLICENSEREADME.TXT;1

The JAVA150 kit can not be re-distributed to other customers with your 
JAVA application, it is suppose to include the JRE.

The JRE kit under some conditions (which I did not read) can be 
distributed with your application so that the end customer does not need 
the full Java environment.

It also looks like the HP ftp library contains intermediate staging kits 
in addition to the final kits.
