      In the documentation page for Bundled Tomcat and Java versions, there is a critical distinction between Installers and .zip/.tar packages which is hidden away in a collapsable block of text:

      If you're using the Windows or Linux installer to install a Jira application in a production environment, the installer already includes the bundled JRE.

      If you're installing a Jira application with the tar.gz archive file, you should additionally install the JRE or the JDK.

      This shouldn't be in a collapsable block of text. It should be in a warning panel front and centre. The reason for this is that the table underneath doesn't provide customers with any indication that this distinction exists and may mistake the JRE being bundled with the zip/.tar packages when it isn't. Hiding this important piece of information away from clear view isn't ideal.

      Could we please have this updated and made more clear across all currently supported versions of this article?
