I just forgot to add that because of the java VM wrapper
that enables one to install many Java implementations side-by-side
on the same machine, you need to set those environment variables in
your shell profile before you can invoke "java" and "javac":

$ printenv | grep JAVA
JAVA_VERSION=1.8
JAVA_VENDOR=openjdk

Good luck,
