But why...
does JRE apper in both JDK and standalone when you install the
latest jdk-1_5_0_09-nb-5_0-win-ml.exe?

Most tools in the JDK are written in Java, so they need a JRE for
execution. The JDK comes with a private JRE to make sure it always
matches the tools. Then you need a public JRE for the user, in a public
place you can rely on. On a real operating system this would be a
symbolic link. On GameOS the whole shebang needs to be copied instead.
