It's been noted that the challenge is expecting an Oracle JDK instead of Open JDK, which is standard for a lot of people on Linux. There really isn't much difference between the two except for passing this challenge. You could just plug in the output listed in the answer here to get it to pass: https://teamtreehouse.com/community/seems-i-broke-it-linux-for-this-course

Thanks. I completely skipped over the fact I was using OpenJDK. Thanks.
