Java --version doesn't work in the command line

Question

I was trying to check the java version using command line and I get this error:

Unrecognized option: --version

Error: Could not create the Java virtual machine

Error: A fatal exception has occurred. Program will exit.

Can anyone help me with this?

Answer 1

Basically, since Java 11, you can use both the command as --version or -version, you need to update your JRE to the newest version and can try with both the commands.

I hope this will help.
