Java version #42

Hey I'm new to github so sorry if this is bad and stuff.

I'm trying to run this on a linux server and I'm stuck at the hmc.java.versions key part. I tried downloading a jre from java but I'm not sure what to enter after hmc.java.versions=. Would you know where to download the jre and how I would enter it into the file?

You want to give HeadlessMc the path to a java executable. The file that handles any java ... command that you put into your terminal. These are typically located inside a bin folder in your java installation.

Using this guide to install jdk 8: https://docs.datastax.com/en/jdk-install/doc/jdk-install/installOpenJdkDeb.html My java versions land in /usr/lib/jvm/. My config looks like this:

hmc.java.versions=/usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.8.0_openjdk-amd64/bin/java

If I have multiple java versions I enter them like this, separated by semicolons:

hmc.java.versions=/usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.8.0_openjdk-amd64/bin/java;/usr/lib/jvm/jdk17-openjdk-amd64/bin/java

Edit: If you cant find the installation and you can do java -version in the terminal you can also try which java or whereis java.
