Java missing in fresh install?

[ichimusai]

Hi,
Fresh reinstall of manjaro for cleaning purpose.
I reinstall TeX Live. Works fine.
I tried to use albatross and get java problems.

/usr/local/texlive/2026/bin/x86_64-linux/albatross: ligne 17 : exec: java : not found

I checked and it seems that there is no more any java install by default on the system anymore ? I’ve read this
Am I missing something ?

So three questions ?
What java jdk/jre should I install ?
Or is there anything else I should do for albatross ?
My latex install is working flawlessly, but did I install it in a wrong way ?

Thanks for the attention you put in this message and in advance for your help.

What java jdk/jre should I install ?

You cannot go wrong with jdk-openjdk — it’s the recommended one.

I’ll just add that, if you only require a Java runtime environment (jre) rather than a full Java development kit (jdk), you can install jre-openjdk instead of jdk-openjdk.

Thank you both for your answer.
My problem is solved.
