Do you need Java? Do you need the SDK (instead of the Runtime)? (Many user don’t need it.) (Are you a Java developer?)

Are you aware that Oracle changed the licensing significantly last April? Causing weird shifts is versioning and ending validity of installed versions.

Some Java based apps might be looking for older Java 6 components, which are a separate download.

What is your current version of Java? (System Preferences﹥Java)

What is your current version macOS? (Your sig says El Capitan 10.11, but you post to the Sierra (10.12) sub-forum.

The Java system requirements say that Java JRE 8 (8.231 currently) should run on OS X 10.8.3+, 10.9+.
