Do I need to install JDK on a pre-built Oracle DB Developer VM?

Question

Hi,

I am about to install OBI EE 12.2.1.2.0 on an Oracle Linux based Virtual Box which is based on a pre-built Oracle DB Developer VM.

Oracle SQL Developer is also pre-installed and Help displays Java version.

Issuing "find / -name java | more" displays some java folders.

My question now is do I need to specifically install JDK before installing OBI EE 12c on the VM?

Could you please let me know?

Thank you.

Regards,

Manoj.

if not ... installing the right java on the Oracle DB Developer VM (must be a OEL6 or 7) is done in 5 minutes (1 to find the right file, 3.5 to download and 0.5 for the unique command installing java  ).
