    Hi

    macOS: I have no JDK or JRE (Java) installed - but shutter-encoder works!

    https://github.com/paulpacifico/shutter-encoder

    Why this is working without Java installation?
    I am confused

    "Shutter Encoder.app\Contents\Resources\JRE\" contains a whole JRE.

    That is a huge security risk?

    Then I prefer https://github.com/HandBrake/HandBrake which is not Java

    There was some random dude on Internet that recommended "Shutter Encoder.app". I am very simple user.

    Why should it be? it's not more a security risk than any other runtime libraries inside an .app package.

    isn't java generally insecure as a runtime?
    Java is hardly available for desktop applications anymore due to security concerns.

    Java is still available on app servers, but an IT department takes care of patching and maintenance.

    I would not recommend installing a Java runtime systemwide, but having the runtime libraries in an .app package of a non-security relevant or communication based application on a desktop system should cause no issues.
