My Mac Java in system settings
Hello: I am a former Windows user from Spain. I have no experience with Macs. I recently purchased a MacBook Air M5. I have macOS "Golden Gate" installed, with the latest updates. I had to install Java 8 (Oracle) update 511. The question is quite simple, though I haven't been able to get an answer. I am concerned.
Is it normal for the section created by the Java installer within the Mac's System Settings to be completely blank, preventing the Java Control Panel from appearing? Java seems to be working correctly for me. Is this a bug in Java or its installer? Could it be an issue with my macOS installation? Should I restore my Mac to factory settings via the System Settings to try and fix this?
Thank you very much for your replies. Best regards.

no, don't reset anything over this. that pane is oracle's java control panel, which only holds settings for applets and web start like the security level and cache, so your java programs run fine without it (java -version in terminal should print 1.8.0_511).
