JDK Installer shows little misleading information about Public JRE

      Steps to reproduce:
      1) Launch the JDK installer.
      2) Accept the license agreement, and click on next
      3) Select the "Public JRE" and have a look on the "Feature Description"
      Consider attached image jdk_custom.png
      Feature description says that
      it WILL be installed at some specified location, but this can be
      misleading and sounds like either user must or he have no control
      over location of public jre install location which is not true
      and when JDK installer launches JRE installer it is launched in
      Custom mode and user is asked for location.
      Also for none of the other features install location is specified
      so we shouldn't specify for this too.
      Ideally this place can be used for providing some information about
      term "public jre" which is indeed a new terminology and we can also
      tell here that this is optional and you can have more than one
      public jre too.
