[SOLVED] not a valid Java environmet path

Previously I installed java-8 jre from Oracle. I removed that version (by deleting /usr/lib/jvm/* and /usr/bin/java) and installed the official Arch linux version
jdk8-openjdk and jre8-openjdk. During installation of both packaged I got the message:

'/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk' is not a valid Java environment path

When trying to run

archlinux-java set java-8-openjdk

it echos the same error message.

Running

archlinux-java fix

gives the result: "No valid Java environment found"

I've tryed it with both the JAVA_HOME set and unset

Any thoughs hwo to solve this issue?

Re: [SOLVED] not a valid Java environmet path

archlinux-java status gives:

Available Java environments:
  java-8-openjdk
No Java environment set as default

Re: [SOLVED] not a valid Java environmet path

He means archlinux-java status

Edit, too late. One thing I notice, though, is that it doesn't list the jre with it. Why is that? jre8-openjdk is a dep of jdk8-openjdk.

Edit2, did you log out and log back in after installing them?

Re: [SOLVED] not a valid Java environmet path

I did install jre seperately too.  When I run pacman -Qe it says:

...
jdk8-openjdk 8.u72-1
jfsutils 1.1.15-4
jre8-openjdk 8.u72-1
...

I did logout and back in again, but the result stays the same.

Re: [SOLVED] not a valid Java environmet path

What do you have in /usr/lib/jvm/, does /usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk/jre/ exist?

Maybe strange, because no executable:

Yeah, that's a problem. Try reinstalling jre8-openjdk

Re: [SOLVED] not a valid Java environmet path

Ah! It's jre8-openjdk-headless that includes the executables. It's a dep of jre8-openjdk

You appear to be missing jre8-openjdk-headless, which includes /usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk/jre/bin/java etc.. I'm not sure how you managed that, as jre8-openjdk depends on it. Do you have anything installed that "provides" jre8-openjdk-headless?

Re: [SOLVED] not a valid Java environmet path

Despite the description of  jre8-openjdk, the binaries are all in jre8-openjdk-headless

Re: [SOLVED] not a valid Java environmet path

Yes, that solves the problem. archlinux-java status now reports:

Available Java environments:
  java-8-openjdk (java-8-openjdk/jre default)

Thank you!

Re: [SOLVED] not a valid Java environmet path

Example of how i solved about java-11-openjdk

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/java-11-openjdk/jre /usr/lib/default
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/java-11-openjdk/jre /usr/lib/default-runtime

archlinux-java status
