The dCore-java-installer command must be installed seperately from the dCore pre-built repository (''sce-import -o dCore-java-installer). Once installed, running 'dCore-java-installer' assists to download Oracle's most recent Java Runtime Environment (JRE 8) and creates a JRE extension.

At the end of the script Java reminder notes are provided, example:

*  jre-8u92-linux-i586 added to /etc/sysconfig/tcedir/sceboot.lst.
*  Run sce-load jre-8u92-linux-i586 to load this extension.
*  Manually remove /home/tc/jre-8u92-linux-i586.tar.gz as desired.
*  If old version installed:
       * Remove old /etc/sysconfig/tcedir/sceboot.lst entry
       * Reboot system
*  Firefox Java plugin installed, restart browser to activate.
*  Java plugin test:
       *  http://java.com/en/ -> Do i have Java?
       *  http://www.test-java.com/
*  Import and load bash to launch ControlPanel (or jcontrol).
*  Default security high so most web applets won't run, at own risk use
   ControlPanel to add Exception Sites and modify security settings.
*  ControlPanel can also remove temporary files, enable debug console, etc.
*  Re-run this script to install Java updates.

The Java browser plugin only works in Firefox (and likely Iceweasel). It is no longer supported in the latest versions of Chrome/Chromium.

Usage options from the 'dCore-java-installer –help' command:

dCore-java-installer - Create a JRE 8 SCE (Java Runtime Environment, eg.
                       jre-8u92-linux-i586.sce). Imports JRE only, not JDK
                       (Java Development Kit), may use option combinations.
 
If >1 web browser installed select from list, opens Oracle Java JRE 8 download
site, manually download file (eg. jre-8u92-linux-i586.tar.gz) to home
(eg. /home/tc/) or /tmp directory, then prompted to create the SCE.
 
Re-run this script and repeat the process when Java updates available
