So I downloaded java_jre-8.25.sfs and loaded it. This is the only jre I was able to find - I assume it will work fine.

But now that it's loaded, am I supposed to set up stuff like $JRE_DIR myself? And also, where is it?

When I issue the command find java or find javac, I don't find anything.

I'm not understanding something here.

Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1,8.0_25-b17)
Java HotSpot (TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.25-b02, mixed mode)

So I guess it's there somewhere. I just need to find it and set up the variable JRE_DIR so my install script will find it and proceed from there. I just cannot find the java bin directory.

I guess the JRE was not listed under the usual ibiblio because certain of us are just installing the full JDK which (I assume) includes the JRE? I like having just the JRE sometimes so I'll stick with this for now.

OK - I found it under opt! It's all there.
