At Java.com there is a link "If you are running on an M series system (ARM64), download the ARM64 version of the JRE ." Today that downloads Java 8 update 391. When I first tried installing Java runtime on my new MacBook Pro M3 Pro shipped December, 2023, now running Sonoma 14.2.1, it failed. The installer app started, requested my password, showed "installing", then reported "failed to install", "OS error code 1". Today I re-downloaded the installer and tried again. It was still 8u391, but this time it succeeded, and I've confirmed running a .jar application. Not sure why it failed the first time. Try, try again?
