Java.com is safe, but no longer updated. Releasing standalone JREs are no longer in fashion. You can use JDKs from Oracle, but don’t do so on a work machine. Prefer getting temurin from https://adoptium.net/ More on reddit.com

Hey everyone! Have you guys had Oracle showing up and asking you to pay a Java license for all your computers? Not too long ago, Oracle showed up at my company and is doing exactly that. We have thousands of computers and only like 300 of them have Java installed, yet Oracle is trying to make us pay a license FOR ALL THE COMPUTERS(or at least that is what the person who met with the representative said). We do not really have JDK installed. I think the computers that DO have Java, have it installed because it is required to run some program. When we tried to get a quote, the representative from Java refused to give us one. If this happened to you, what did your team do? Is it a good idea to just run a massive uninstall on all the computers? Would that lead to legal trouble?

So I recently went through this entire process and it is painful, and you need strong leadership and ideally a strong procurement management process. Do not volunteer any information. Treat every discussion with Oracle as a deposition because they will use it against you. Get rid of Oracle Java while you are negotiating with them. Minimize and get rid of every use in your company. Move to the multitude of open source alternatives. Assuming you can't get rid of all Oracle Java, understand that under their current licensing model you have to license all users in your company. Pay special attention to the term users. This does not mean users of Java, this means any employee of your company regardless of whether they use a computer or not (think janitors, security guards, truck drivers....). In this licensing model you do not need to license your servers, you user license covers it. As of April of this year they were still letting you license under their old server or named user license but you have to push for that. Assuming you can't get rid of all Oracle Java, understand that under their current licensing model, you have to license all users in your company. Pay special attention to the term users. This does not mean users of Java, this means any employee of your company regardless of whether they use a computer (think janitors, security guards, truck drivers....). This also includes employees of any MSPs that support you. Anyone who interacts with your environment or is an employee must be licensed. In this licensing model, you do not need to license your servers, your user license covers it. As of April of this year, they were still letting you license under their old server or named user license but you have to push for that. You are going to have to pay back penalities. The longer you commit to a license agreement with Oracle, the less your back penalities are going to be. Oracle is a horrible company, do everything you can to avoid dealing with them.

Okay, so I downloaded Java first from Java.com. I got some weird exe files that looked sketchy so I selectively deleted those files. At that time, it appeared I only got JRE, as my Java program wouldn't compile without JDK (I am new to Java). My Java version at that time was:

java version "1.8.0_401"

Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_401-b10)

Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.401-b10, mixed mode).

Then, I went to Oracle, and downloaded JDK 22, which comes with JRE, and my version now reads:

java version "22" 2024-03-19

Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 22+36-2370)

Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 22+36-2370, mixed mode, sharing)

Everything works, but I am concerned about how to locate and delete the earlier download. Is there anyway to check which version of JRE is running for me? Any solutions for locating the older download of JRE. Is Java.com safe?

Does Oracle own Java? - Quora
Answer (1 of 7): Oracle owns the trademark, 'Java', which they do enforce quite actively. They also own things like the JavaFX trademark. The Java SE specification is defined through the JCP as individual JSRs.
