The installer comes with it's own JRE just for DBeaver, so you don't have to install Java systemwide for it to work.

And why the hate for Java? Most other languages have runtime libraries or VMs too, does it really make a difference if that runtime code is baked into the exe vs. stored in a separate folder?

Maybe I don't know JRE vs Java well, but I really dislike the constant "update Java now!" messages and the hassle that goes with it.

Ah yes, that's different. There's no need to install any of that stuff when you pick the DBeaver installer that ships with a JRE. It basically just adds another folder into the DBeaver directory.
