So when you check the version, it's 1.9. What do you want to change it to? – achAmháin May 25 '18 at 13:21

Don't quite get the question? If You installed 1.9, to what version do You expect this should change? Maybe You meant 1.8? – Kovacic May 25 '18 at 13:23

I assume you meant 1.8
Windows and Linux allow multiple JRE to be installed. They have different mechanisms for determining which JRE is used by default. Basically, it comes down to your system path.
