## default\_cds

```
File JavaRuntimeInfo.default_cds
```

Returns the JDK default CDS archive.
May return `None`.

## files

```
depset JavaRuntimeInfo.files
```

Returns the files in the Java runtime.

## hermetic\_files

```
depset JavaRuntimeInfo.hermetic_files
```

Returns the files in the Java runtime needed for hermetic deployments.

## hermetic\_static\_libs

```
sequence JavaRuntimeInfo.hermetic_static_libs
```

Returns the JDK static libraries.

## java\_executable\_exec\_path

```
string JavaRuntimeInfo.java_executable_exec_path
```

Returns the execpath of the Java executable.

## java\_executable\_runfiles\_path

```
string JavaRuntimeInfo.java_executable_runfiles_path
```

Returns the path of the Java executable in runfiles trees. This should only be used when one needs to access the JVM during the execution of a binary or a test built by Bazel. In particular, when one needs to invoke the JVM during an action, java\_executable\_exec\_path should be used instead.

## java\_home

```
string JavaRuntimeInfo.java_home
```

Returns the execpath of the root of the Java installation.

## java\_home\_runfiles\_path

```
string JavaRuntimeInfo.java_home_runfiles_path
```

Returns the path of the Java installation in runfiles trees. This should only be used when one needs to access the JDK during the execution of a binary or a test built by Bazel. In particular, when one needs the JDK during an action, java\_home should be used instead.

## lib\_ct\_sym

```
File JavaRuntimeInfo.lib_ct_sym
```

Returns the lib/ct.sym file.
May return `None`.

## lib\_modules

```
File JavaRuntimeInfo.lib_modules
```

Returns the lib/modules file.
May return `None`.

## version

```
int JavaRuntimeInfo.version
```

The Java feature version of the runtime. This is 0 if the version is unknown.
