For Linux distributions, there is a package openjdk-8-jre for installing just the jre part of the openjdk 8. Is there something familiar for the latest openjdk 11 for windows? The latest openjdk versions can be downloaded at http://jdk.java.net/11/ but I cannot find a way to download just the jre part.

In this release, the JRE or Server JRE is no longer offered. Only the JDK is offered. Users can use jlink to create smaller custom runtimes. JavaFX is no longer included in the JDK.
I noticed that Java 11 doesn't have a JRE folder. Oracle no longer intends for end-users to be installing a JRE or a JDK. Java Applets in a browser and Java Web Start app delivery are both being phased out, leaving the end-user with no need for a JRE.
JRE is the Java Runtime Environment – it contains a JVM, among other things, and is what you need to run a Java program. JDK is the Java Development Kit – it is the JRE, but with javac (which is what you need to compile Java source code) and other programming tools added. OpenJDK is a specific JDK implementation.
The openjdk-6-jre package contains just the Java Runtime Environment. If you want to develop Java programs then install the openjdk-6-jdk package.
Adoptium (previously AdoptOpenJDK) offers JRE downloads for Java 8 and up.
