Processing applications require java 8+ to run, and many people don't have java. I know processing can embed java in a mac application (but not windows), but I have seen applications that will prompt the user if they want to install java before running. I could download a java installer online, but is there a way to make a program (not necessarily in processing) that tests for java version and launches the installer if the required java version cannot be found?

This technically isn't a processing question, but I think I might be able to make a notepad script that test java version, launches the installer if the version isn't right, and launches the processing application if it is. Will this work?
And does anyone know where to find the actual version of java that you can install onto a computer (not a web browser).
That's incorrect! Windows version absolutely exports to Windows OS. [-X
And we can always opt for no embedded Java. It's as easy to install Java as any other software. :-@
Oh, so embedding java only works for applications exported to the same OS as is being used? I guess I'll use a friends computer then.
