OK, I am now uncomfortable with wmic.
I ran command below to retrieve the uninstall string.
Get-WmiObject -Class win32_product | where { $_.Name -like "*Java*"}
Think I will do this for each java version in my environment and create a task
sequence.
Thanks.

It doesn't replace the uninstall method though.

The second link doesn't say anything about uninstalling...

See the second link. CSI Windows provides a better alternative.
Or how about Secunia? They’ll do it also. Or collect all of the possible
uninstall strings and put them into a script. There are many options. I think a
few folks have even posted scripts to this list that may be found online with
some searching:

Don’t use Win32_Product, it has terrible side effects:

Subject: [mssms] java uninstall with wmic
Hi,
I finally have ok to upgrade a group of 2k PCs to latest Java but many have
multiple versions.
Has anyone used wmic from ConfigMgr to uninstall Java?
No issues using this command locally to remove multiple versions.
wmic product where “name like ‘Java%'” call uninstall
Thanks,
Tim
