The package is java-1.8.0-openjdk, but "dnf install jre" will work.

[Patrick Dupre]

Thank you.

But:
Package java-1.8.0-openjdk-1:1.8.0.91-2.b14.fc22.x86_64 is already installed, skipping.
which jre returns:

/usr/bin/which: no jre in (/root/bin:/usr/lib64/qt-3.3/bin:/usr/lib64/ccache:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin)

So!

"jre" is a mnemonic for "Java runtime environment"--it's not the binary.
The execuatble binary is "/usr/bin/java" which is a symlink to

/etc/alternatives/java

which in turn is a symlink (on my machine) to

/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.8.0-openjdk-1.8.0.91-5.b14.fc23.x86_64/jre/bin/java

OK,

but it seems that it also needs 
javaw
which is not provided.
Is it javawriter ?

Thank.

I suspect you have a version of your program that's for Windows. javaw
doesn't exist in Linux--only in Java for Windows. In the Windows world,
java opens a console window while javaw does not.

You might try doing a symlink and see if it works:

$ sudo ln -s /usr/bin/java /usr/bin/javaw

No guarantees on if that'll, though.

That's not accurate

The javaw stuff is nothing to do with Windows but rather is the Java
webstart stuff for running jnlp

That's provided by icedtea-web and will use whichever java is configured
via alternatives as the system java
