Thanks for the response to my request for information on installing Geany and Java on my new Windows 10 system.  I am very new to Windows 10 and am bogged down in that.  I will have to get better at Windows 10 before I take on Java and Geany.

You are correct that Java is not included with Geany, you have to
install your preferred Java toolchain and runtime yourself. Once you've
done that and ensured the location containing the `javac` and `java`
executables is in your `%PATH%` environment variable, Geany's default
build commands should "just work". If you don't put the Java binaries in
your `PATH` variable, you will have to edit Geany's build commands to
specify the full absolute path to those tools.
