How to get JDK/SDK as a zip file

You're probably like me... just don't want to use installer since it may mess up your system configuration.
However, since late version of Java 6, Oracle no longer offer JDK/SDK as a zip file, but a installer. So how do you get the zip file?
Here is the tricks:

Trick 1:
Download the installer from Oracle (e.g. EE 7 SDK) and install on a lab machine (Windows machine) and then go this location:

C:\Users\YourUsername\AppData\Local\Temp\java_ee_sdk-7-jdk7-windows-x64.exe\Product\Packages

grap jdk7.zip file.

Trick 2:
 Just extract the installer itself (e.g. java_ee_sdk-7-jdk7-windows-x64)

 Go to /Product/Packages and the jdk.zip shoudl be there!


That's it. Easy as that.




Note: Linux box, you may try open jdk.
