Note

The JRI application is not deployed at this point. You need to Start Tomcat in order to deploy it. Do so before any further operations as it is required to write configuration files, etc…

About Haveged

Haveged is an entropy generator that will provide markedly faster JVM startup times. The caveat is that it will use much higher CPU load (although for shorter duration due to decreased JVM start up time). Bear this in mind if deploying on VM with limited CPU or other critical applications.
