I have to handle a confusing issue concerning the installation of Java on my mac:
If I go to system preferences, there is no Java symbol anymore:
But if I type
java -version
in the terminal, I getjava version "14" 2020-03-17 Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 14+36-1461) Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 14+36-1461, mixed mode, sharing)
So, it seems that Java is still installed.
My system: macOS High Sierra version 10.13.6
The Java symbol that you are looking for in your system preferences is the "Java Control panel". It has been removed in the newest versions of Java:
https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/11-relnote-issues-5012449.html#JDK-8185077
[...] Please note that the Java Control Panel, which was used for configuring the deployment technologies, has also been removed along with the shared system JRE (but not the server JRE) and the JRE Auto Update mechanism.
