Windows 10: Java Oracle

I would like to know if "Java" and "Java Oracle" are safe

Using Java from Oracle with Windows 10

I use the Oracle version of Java, not microsoft's. The operating system is Windows 10. I am using this on a HP Pavillion g series laptop.

Rather routinely, I get a popup asking me if I want to use the Microsoft Java Script. If I decide to browse the Java command file cannot be found. And if I say to use the MJS I get a message saying that the file cannot be found.

I have checked to make sure that Oracle's Java is installed correctly and that it is the most current version. But Windows 10 will not let me associate the .js files with it.

I do not wish to use the MJS. I wish to use Java from Oracle. In my experience, the MJS is somewhat crippled and not the whole version of Oracle's.

I need help with this. Anyone?

Very important for security if you use the browser add-on. Do not forget to tick "Suppress sponsor offers when installing or updating Java" in the Advanced tab before updating-it's at the very bottom:





Information
Oracle Java SE 8 Release Updates


Public updates for Oracle Java SE 8 will remain available for individual, personal use through at least the end of 2020.

Public updates for Oracle Java SE 8 released after January 2019 will not be available for business, commercial or production use without a commercial license.


If you are a CONSUMER using Java for individual, personal use, you will continue to have the same access to Oracle Java SE 8 updates as you do today through at least the end of 2020. In most instances, the Java-based applications you run are licensed separately by a company other than Oracle (for example, games you play on your PC are likely developed by a gaming company). These applications may run on the Java platform and be dependent on Oracle Java SE 8 updates beyond 2020. Accordingly, Oracle recommends you contact your application provider for details on how they plan to continue to provide application support to you.

If you are a DEVELOPER, Oracle recommends you review the roadmap information for Java SE 8 and beyond and take appropriate action depending on the type of application you develop and your distribution model.

If you are acting on behalf of an ENTERPRISE, Oracle recommends you review the roadmap information for Java SE 8 and beyond and begin to assess your ongoing Java support requirements in order to migrate to a later release or obtain a Java SE Subscription, as appropriate, on a timely basis.

If you are an ORACLE CUSTOMER who is licensed to use Java SE as part of another Oracle product, you continue to have access to Oracle Java SE 8 updates beyond 2019 for use with those Oracle products, see this My Oracle Support (MOS) note for more information. Further information is available on these sites:

• Oracle Java SE Support Roadmap
• JavaFX and Other Java Client Roadmap Updates
• Java Client Roadmap Update (An Oracle White Paper, PDF)
• Getting Java updates when required by an Oracle Product(Requires Oracle Support Login)
