Time for action – checking the presence of Java on Windows
We will verify the presence of a JRE/JDK installation on Windows, using the following steps:
From the Start menu, select Control Panel.
Then select Programs. If your system has a JRE/JDK installed, you should see an icon with the Java logo as shown in the following screenshot. It is a shortcut to the Java control panel.
Open the Java control panel and select the Java tab. Here you will find settings for JRE. Press the Show Me button to visualize the installed release and the installation folder.
What just happened?
You checked for the presence of Java on your computer. In case you didn't find it, we are going to install it in the next section. (If you did find it, skip to the Installing Apache Tomcat section.)
