I installed java with homebrew, using the command brew cask install java.
After successfully installing, I typed which java, and the path showed to be /usr/bin/java
When I typed brew cask info java, this showed up:
java: 1.8.0_102-b14 Java Standard Edition Development Kit
/usr/local/Caskroom/java/1.8.0_102-b14 (227.5M) https://github.com/caskroom/homebrew-cask/blob/master/Casks/java.rb Contents JDK 8 Update 102.pkg (pkg) Caveats This Cask makes minor modifications to the JRE to prevent issues with packaged applications, as discussed here: If your Java application still asks for JRE installation, you might need to reboot or logout/login.
Installing this Cask means you have AGREED to the Oracle Binary Code License Agreement for Java SE at
Did I forget to link something?
/usr/bin/java is a symlink.
To see where it points, type ls -la /usr/bin/java
brew cask is installing into /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_something.jdk/Contents/Home
If the previous command ls -la is matching this, you are good.
If not, it means that you previously had another java installation. In this case, you may want to use a tool like jenv to switch between your multiple installs.
