How to install JDK and JRE - java

I am attempting to run an application (monitor.exe) for monitoring things going on with my device when running a test program, but I am getting the following error message:
A Java Runtime Environment (JRE) or Java Development Kit (JDK) must be available in order to run Monitor. No Java virtual machine was found after searching the following locations:
C:\Users\Datu1\AppData\Local\ANdroid\Sdk\tools\lib\monitor-x86_64\jre\bin\javaw.exe
javaw.exe in your current PATH
Can I install via Android Studio or should I go to the Oracle website? Is it a single installation package for both the JRE and JDK? Also I have tried running command line commands to see if the JDK is installed as well as searching folders and it is not installed.

As #davedwards has said above, you would need to download and install the JRE from the Oracle website. If you still run into problems once installed or you have already installed the JRE you may need to check your PATH system variable.
The help section on the Oracle website Here
Will take you through this process.

Eclipse is unable to open, have used eclipse before and has open before without a problem. Now I keep getting the following error message:

Maybe you have uninstalled the jdk ,try installing the jdk again,set the environment variables. It should work

JDK and JRE version confusion

I've been working with Java for a bit now and the JDK/JRE version has given me quite a bit of trouble lately. I am developing using the Intellij IDEA IDE and it of course uses the latest version of the JDK, 14. However when I attempt to execute software compiled with JDK 14 outside the IDE, I get an error that the JRE isn't new enough to run this software. So I updated Java on my computer and another machine and attempt to run again without any success. After some digging, I tweaked my machine to use the JRE included in the JDK 14 which is compatible.
However it is kind of odd that I had to do that, one would think that the latest version of java should of been enough to run applications made with the latest version of the JDK (14). Right now Java is version 8 build 251 and says there is no newer update available. If JDK 14 is out for a while now, why would they not update the version of Java they ship?
The problem is partially solved, as only the machine I am using for development is capable of executing the created applications. Other people I've sent them to have been unable to run them, despite having the latest version of java. Also it is a pain to get the latest JDK, especially when having limited experience on how to get rid of old versions, change path point to the latest version, get the right package (open/oracle JDK) and do that for windows and several distrubutions of linux. What is going on? Did I get Java from the wrong place and everyone else as well? Why are oracle doing this and why are there no java updates since clearly there exists a newer version?
Starting with Java-11, separate JRE does not exist anymore. In other words, if you are using Java-11 or above, you should care about JDK only.
You should uninstall JRE-8 from your machine and make sure your JDK-14 bin folder in the PATH variable. Some application even requires JAVA_HOME to work and therefore you should make sure that your system has an environment variable called JAVA_HOME and its value set to the root folder of JDK-14 (i.e. one level above your JDK bin).
Q: What should my clients do to run my application compiled on JDK-14?
Ans: Your clients must install JDK-14. Also, check this thread for some alternatives.
You're confusing how IntelliJ or JDK are used on the OS. IntelliJ, now, often comes with its JDK binaries (but even this can be configured, IntelliJ can be configured to use any JDK/JRE build you'll provide to it); however, if you run your Java application out of IntelliJ, most likely you're using Java installed locally on your OS, which might be referenced via your JAVA_HOME environment variable.
I'd suggest to:
Check java -version in your shell (and hence you'll see what JVM instance your OS spins up when you run a Java application);
Check where java (on Windows, or which - on Linux) in your shell, to see all the Java binaries available on your OS.
Try to uninstall Java SE Development Kit and Java JRE(if you have both in your machine) and reinstall both again, JDK and JRE both, I am sharing my google drive link where you can find the latest version of both JDK and JRE and when you are done installing, add there bin folder path in the Environment Variables of your machine.

Can't download JDK 8

I'm trying to setup Unity to build for Android. But I can't get the Java Development Kit. Can't download it and can't find it either.
In this answer, the guy says
To ensure JDK is installed, just go through the following :
press Win + R
type 'cmd' in the popup and press button OK.
in the console which has opened, type javac -version and press enter.
You should see as an output :
javac 1.8.0_XX
If so SDK is installed.
I did that and I got "javac 1.8.0_XX", and so I assumed I had the JDK, so I went to Unity > External Tools > JDK and tried linking the following path: "C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0", and got the error message: "The path you specified does not look like a valid JDK installation. Android development requires at least JDK(1.7), having JRE only is not enough. Please make sure you are selecting a suitable JDK home directory or download and install the latest JDK: link"
I clicked the download link for windows x64 and it never loads and eventually says there's no connection. I tried the x86 as well.
In this SO question How do I find where JDK is installed on my windows machine?
Answer: For windows, in the command prompt:
c:\> for %i in (java.exe) do #echo. %~$PATH:i
And so I did that and got the path "C:\ProgramData\Oracle\Java\javapath\java.exe"
When I try linking via Unity > External tools > JDK it doesn't find any files.
I'm a bit clueless now.
#RealAnyOne, you have installed Java with JRE only installation i.e., without out a JDK that’s what you see only one folder and this is why it also showing version in the command line since it won’t check for JDK. JRE is Java Runtime Environment, JDK is Java Development Kit which contains many essential libraries. So Ideally there should be two folders JRE and JDK. This is the reason you are getting this issue with Unity.
To Fix::
Uninstall old Java 8
Download Java 8 from the oracle website
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk8-downloads-2133151.html
Install it. Now you should have two folders. Then point your Unity to it.

Error while running a program on Android Studio

Error in android while trying to start Virtual Device Manager:
Cannot launch AVD manager.
Output:
"C:\PROGRA~2\Android\ANDROI~2\sdk\tools\lib\\find_java.exe" -s' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
ERROR: No suitable Java found. In order to properly use the Android Developer
Tools, you need a suitable version of Java JDK installed on your system.
We recommend that you install the JDK version of JavaSE, available here:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads
If you already have Java installed, you can define the JAVA_HOME environment
variable in Control Panel / System / Avanced System Settings to point to the
JDK folder.
You can find the complete Android SDK requirements here:
http://developer.android.com/sdk/requirements.html
I have reinstalled java jdk several times, i have also set the JAVA_HOME variable correctly.
This problem also persisted in eclipse so i installed android studio.
Exact value of JAVA_HOME : "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_05\".
If any further detail is needed i 'll provide it in comments.
AFAIK, AndroidStudio generally looks out for JRE stuff and Eclipse looks out for JDK stuff. This is what I've done to make both Eclipse and AS work in my system:
Set 2 Environment Variables like below and see if it works..It worked for me without issues
JAVA_HOME - C:\Program Files\Java
JDK_HOME - C:\Program Files\Java\jre7
Hope this helps...

Possible bug in Java Web Start

I am using Ubuntu operating system with Java version 1.7.0_15 (Iced Tea). I am unable to access the Java web start application. Every time I start it I get message that Java web start requesting JRE 1.7 and then says that it is unable to install so manually install and then it failed to install the JRE. I do not know what to do.
Here is my java version
Here is few important information
1. I have validated JNLP file using JaNeLa and there is no error.
2. Ubuntu is opening Application with JRE 1.6 perfectly fine.
3. On Windows every version is running perfectly fine.
4. I have tried with deployment tool kit but the always redirect me to the Sun page to download the linux version of JRE and even after installing that it again redirect me to the download page.
Please let me know if I can provide more information.
So finally after working whole day I have found the problem with my system. I am not sure why my question got -3 but it was valid question. The problem was with the Java plugin in the Firefox browser. Although I have installed jdk 7 on my machine but the firefox plugin was still pointing to the jre6 so giving error. So I have to manually create the link for the jre 7 in my machine
ln -s /usr/lib/jvm/<<location of jre 7>>/jre/lib/i386/libnpjp2.so ~/.mozzilla/plugins
Then I restarted the browser and make sure that I have the latest plugin and it started working, So it was not the java installed but it was firefox plugin.
Just FYI, oracle has stopped it support for java plugin for linux due to some licensing so you have to install it manually. Thanks
You can check the installed plug-in by typing 'about:plugins' in your address bar of firefox
IMHO OpenJDK 7 is not a JRE 7.
You may uninstall it before install oracle jre. Otherwise you have to use sudo update-alternatives to define the default java version
