It is *likely* that the poster there sees an empty list below the "Java runtime
environments (JRE) already installed:" title, and without knowing what to
expect on that page, thinks that the line itself tells them something about the
state of their system configuration.
So to avoid this kind of newbie confusion, this line could be improved to
explicitly tell user that it is just a title; maybe something like
A list of Java runtime environments (JRE) already installed:
Or maybe even change dynamically to tell "No JREs were found on your system!".
