Question

When trying to use the Linux version of Oracle\'s JDK on the latest Windows 10 build having support for bash, I am running into a problem with the prompt hanging whenever at

Answer 1

I'm confirming here that Oracle JDK Version 8u102, x64 for linux is installable ok on Windows 10 Insider Build 14905, released on 16th August 2016.

Downloadable from here after accepting license

C:\>systeminfo | findstr /B /C:"OS Name" /C:"OS Version"
OS Name:                   Microsoft Windows 10 Pro Insider Preview
OS Version:                10.0.14905 N/A Build 14905

I followed the instructions here: wikiHow Oracle Java Install

$ java -version
java version "1.8.0_102"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_102-b14)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.102-b14, mixed mode)

$ javac -version
javac 1.8.0_102

I've not yet had a chance to really stress this install, but this is better than the previous hangs.
