oracle - Do you still get JCE Policy if you use the JDK java bin instead of the JRE (inside the JDK) java bin?

Question

For Java - you can download the Cryptography Extensions here. (JCE)

You place these (in the JDK) into /jdk-8.../jre/lib/security/. (They replace 2 3Kb files with 6Kb files).

Inside the JDK there are (at least) two Java bin files:

/jdk-8.../bin/java
/jdk-8.../jre/bin/java

Now I want to use these JCE extensions for my Java application.

It seems to me that if you use /jdk-8.../bin/java you won't use the JCE extensions, but if you use /jdk-8.../jre/bin/java then you will. Is that correct?

My question is: Do you still get JCE Policy if you use the JDK java bin instead of the JRE (inside the JDK) java bin?

Assumptions:

• This is Oracle Java
• This is JDK 8
• This is running on Red Hat.
