    Hi

    From the cmd line does anyone know how to tell if the java version is oracle or openjdk?
    Thanks.

    java -version will tell you if you're using openjdk or not.
    This was on linux but you should see similar output for Windows: 
    # java -version
java version "1.7.0_75"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (rhel-2.5.4.0.el6_6-i386 u75-b13)
OpenJDK Client VM (build 24.75-b04, mixed mode, sharing)
    On systems with Oracle JDK: 
    # java -version
java version "1.6.0_71"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_71-b12)
Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (build 20.71-b01, mixed mode)
    if you're using linux/unix - you can check the installed packages

    Also if you have multiple versions installed it might be worth double checking the JAVA_HOME and PATH values

    That did the trick thanks. It's the Oracle version I have (that doesn't actually mention oracle in the output :) )
