+<p>On <a href="https://www.msys2.org/">MSYS2</a>, this won't work initially because <code>java</code> isn't in your path.  So from MSYS2:
+
+<code block>
+~ $ cd '/c/Program Files/Java'
+/c/Program Files/Java $ ls
+jdk1.8.0_202  jre1.8.0_202
+/c/Program Files/Java $ cd jdk1.8.0_202/
+/c/Program Files/Java/jdk1.8.0_202 $ ls
+bin        javafx-src.zip  LICENSE      src.zip
+COPYRIGHT  jre             README.html  THIRDPARTYLICENSEREADME.txt
+include    lib             release      THIRDPARTYLICENSEREADME-JAVAFX.txt
+/c/Program Files/Java/jdk1.8.0_202 $
+</code>
+
+<p>In <code>~/.bash_profile</code>:
+
+<code block>
+export JAVA_HOME="/c/Program Files/Java/jdk1.8.0_202"
+PATH="$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH"
+export PATH
+</code>
+
+<p>Now open a new MSYS2 shell and Java should work.</p>
