What OS and how did you install Java 8? With Linux and either Debian or
Ubuntu, there is a ppa that you can use that provides a script that will
dnload Java straight from Oracle and then CONFIGURE your system to make
the changes to the locations of all the commands, like which javaws to
use, if both java7 and java8 are both installed. Maybe your system still
expects to find javaws in the old java 7 directories location?
I guess if you are running Windows or OSx you can open a terminal
window, type java --version
and see what you get
then type javaws --version, which is a command line error and it should
throw up a help screen. At least you'll know it's alive and kicking. OWL
should be able to use it then. Hopefully! Ric
