Do I need a separate JRE installation for MATLAB ?

Do I need an installation of Java Runtime to use MATLAB and Simulink (including Compiler/Coder)?

Other way to ask: does MATLAB bring its own JRE with full functionality?

Background of the question: Java changed their licensing model and we are asked to uninstall it.

MATLAB installs its own JRE.

The JRE it installs is the last free JRE (though, depending on the MATLAB release, it might possibly not have the most recent security patches.)

At the MATLAB prompt, give the command ver and observe the Java information near the top, such as

Java Version: Java 1.8.0_202-b08 with Oracle Corporation Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM mixed mode

Thanks for the information.
