To install the OpenJDK JRE, we run: sudo apt install default-jre (Alternatively, you may opt to use a specific Java version, using for example the openjdk-11-jre package as updates are released for that version of the Java Virtual Machine, that packages will be updated, allowing you to stick to the latest and greatest update of one specific version of the Java language.) The default-jre is an excellent choice for most situations, thanks to the outstanding track of backwards compatibility of the Java Virtual Machine.
Ubuntu offers the default-jre package, which is regularly updated to ship the latest version of the current OpenJDK JRE in Long Term Support (LTS). Moreover, the non LTS versions of Java are bringing a steady stream of innovation into the language, and also see some adoption. Nowadays, Java 11 is the current Long Term Support (LTS) version, but Java 8 is still widely used. With new versions of Java released every 6 months, there are multiple versions available for use.
