That went pretty quick and without much trouble. But when I issued <code>java -version</code> on my terminal, I was greeted with</p> <pre tabindex="0"><code>Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 9-ea+155) Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 9-ea+155, mixed mode) </code></pre><p>Although that&rsquo;s nice - you&rsquo;d even expect it, maybe - I realised I often need Java 8 as well.
