What is the reason I see OpenJDK 1.8 instead of Java 8, and how are these versions related?

Still confused? Try checking javac -version or full release info

If you want to confirm what version you’re running beyond the 1.8 label, you can also run:

javac -version

Or check the full details by running:

java -XshowSettings:properties -version

This shows more config details and helps you confirm it’s really Java 8.
