"java -version"in cmd gives no result

Question

I tried to install java 14 manually on Windows 10. I set the System Variables as in this picture.

But when I use the command "java -version" literally nothing happens...

C:\WINDOWS\system32>java -version

C:\WINDOWS\system32>

Something must be wrong, but I can't figure what...

You have both, some generic java ("....Oracle\Java\javapath") and the JDK in your PATH variable. Try to use only the JDK. – Moribund

.. Or set the bin in PATH before the other one. – Akmolinsk

Take also a look at JAVA command shows nothing in a command prompt… – Tillo

Answer 1

1. Move C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-14.0.2\bin\java to the beginning in the PATH variable.
2. Important - Open a new cmd window and use the command java -version. Any already open cmd windows do not reflect the settings that you do in the environment variables form/window.

Solution

Please first run the following command

"c:\Program Files\Java\jdk-14.0.2\bin\java" --version

If that returns a result remove the following entries from your PATH

c:\Program Files\Common Files\Oracle\Java\javapath
c:\Program Files\Java\jdk-14.0.2\bin\java\bin

Then create an environment variable called JAVA and set it to %JAVA_HOME%\bin, then simply add %JAVA% to your PATH variable.

You will need to close your command prompt window and reopen it before the change will take effect

Worked for me. I also had "...\Oracle\Java\javapath" in my PATH. Removing it from there solved it. – Colobus
