Hi Andrew,
I have an Msys2 based development environment on a memory stick
that Engineering students use for C development. It has clang,
Notepad++ as the editor, Sumatra as a pdf viewer etc etc and all is good.
One of my friends teaches a different class that uses Java as the
language of instruction and wants to use my dev. env. so now I need to
install Java - but I can't find it.
Any thoughts greatly appreciated,
If you are interested in a Portable Java install Java on a stick or a
portable drive. Here are two links that I use to install JDK (or JRE)
portably.

I use a bat file innovation: "C:\javaJRE\jre1.8.0_91\bin\javaw.exe -jar
C:\jedit\jedit.jar -reuseview -settings=C:\jedit\settings\jEdit"
I can send the complete bat file if useful. I also have brief
installation notes that I use to complement the links.
The resulting installation works well and reliably.

OT request. Your portable Msys2 installation is good. I have googled for
the installation instructions but turned up nothing. If you have a link
to the installation instructions, it would be very useful to me.
