What program do you need Java for? There are multiple versions (JRE, JDK, ETC). Also can you do

-java version

in command prompt?

That should be `java -version`. Plus you have to put JRE in PATH before this would work. There's no need for JDK, unless you want to compile java source files using `javac` command.

Chrome doesn't support Java anymore, nor do most of other popular browsers: https://java.com/en/download/faq/chrome.xml.
