Question about installing Java on a Windows 11 PC
Often when warning about Java security issues what theyโ€™re warning about is Java applets. Those are essentially things where a website gives your web browser a bit of code to run. That code could do just about anything, same as installing any program, so they were common methods of people trying malicious things. Most browsers donโ€™t let you run those any more though. Java in general is no more and no less vulnerable than any other programming language / framework. More on reddit.com

Hi! I want to install a magic the gathering program, and it needs java to run. They provide a short guide on what versions it works with, but I tried to get the openjdk one, and I still don't know how to install it.

This is the short guide https://github.com/Card-Forge/forge/wiki/User-Guide#java-requirement

Could anyone tell me which one should I get, and how to install it?

Sorry to post this here, tried asking for help on the program's discord, but I got no answers.

In August 2019, OpenLogic recognized that the current state of Java WebStart technology in OpenJDK was not as capable as the Oracle JDK equivalent. The build was missing critical functionality such as site exceptions, jar key matching, Windows Proxy settings, and other functions. OpenLogic added functionality to IcedTea-Web to bring parity with Oracleโ€™s WebStart distribution. These upgrades were accepted into IcedTea-Web 2.0. OpenLogic now provides free, quarterly builds of OpenJDK 8, OpenJDK 11, OpenJDK 17, and OpenJDK 21 for Linux, Windows, and MacOS.

r/javahelp on Reddit: Question about installing Java on a Windows 11 PC
September 10, 2025 -

Hey everyone!! So, I am in a bit of a situation that I hope someone can help me with. For a bit of backstory, I am an avid gamer, mostly retro gaming, I have been playing video games since the Atari age. That said, I really appreciate a good one. I got my first PC - an Apple//GS - when I was eight, and got a bunch of games to play.

I really hope this post does not violate a rule for this Reddit page. If so, I completely understand. Anyway, I am trying to install DosBox-Staging and one of the pieces of the subsequent installation process is installing Java. (I know this is a bit vague, I am really trying to avoid this post from being removed by the moderators). This is where I come to a standstill. I did a bit of research, and learned (apparently) that Java has some security issues. I know absolutely nothing about Java, so I am relying on help from friends and people or Reddit. From what I can tell, Java has been known to have security issues such as hacking, malware and compromising one's PC.

Anyway, I wanted to come on this page and ask what you guys think on this...? If there are such risks, I would not want to compromise my PC in any way, shape or form. What are your thoughts? Any and all help is appreciated!!

  1. Extract the zip file into a folder, e.g. C:\Program Files\Java\ and it will create a jdk-11 folder (where the bin folder is a direct sub-folder). You may need Administrator privileges to extract the zip file to this location.

  2. Set a PATH:

    • Select Control Panel and then System.
    • Click Advanced and then Environment Variables.
    • Add the location of the bin folder of the JDK installation to the PATH variable in System Variables.
    • The following is a typical value for the PATH variable: C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\WINDOWS;"C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-11\bin"
  3. Set JAVA_HOME:

    • Under System Variables, click New.
    • Enter the variable name as JAVA_HOME.
    • Enter the variable value as the installation path of the JDK (without the bin sub-folder).
    • Click OK.
    • Click Apply Changes.
  4. Configure the JDK in your IDE (e.g. IntelliJ or Eclipse).

You are set.

To see if it worked, open up the Command Prompt and type java -version and see if it prints your newly installed JDK.

If you want to uninstall - just undo the above steps.

Note: You can also point JAVA_HOME to the folder of your JDK installations and then set the PATH variable to %JAVA_HOME%\bin. So when you want to change the JDK you change only the JAVA_HOME variable and leave PATH as it is.

Eclipse Adoptium

For Java 17 and up, you can use the Eclipse Adoptium website. According to their about section, the Eclipse Adoptium project is the continuation of the original AdoptOpenJDK mission. It currently hosts Java 8, 11 and 16 through 22, offering various installation methods, including .msi installers, which will perform all the things listed in the question (Unpacking, registry keys, PATH variable updating (and JAVA_HOME), uninstaller...).

Earlier, Java 11 was hosted via AdoptOpenJDK. It now redirects to Eclipse Adoptium.

r/java on Reddit: OpenJDK 11 download? I only find Oracle JDK!
April 8, 2018 -

Sorry, I'm confused ...

I've just tried to find the latest version of the OpenJDK 11. This page https://jdk.java.net/11/ links to the Oracle download page https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html

Am I missing something? I was under the impression OpenJDK 11 was a LTS release? I don't want to use the Oracle JDK.
