"Java" Folder in my library

[MacBH928]

So I was browsing the library folder in Macintosh HD and there is a "Java" folder in it with another to folders within named "Extensions" and "JavaVirtualMachines" . No such folder is on the user/library .

Is this a normal folder of the MacOS or did I install Java by mistake somehow? I really don't want any Java or Flash my on computer

On my 2014 Mini where Java is not installed, there is a /Library/Java folder with 2 empty directories - Extensions and JavaVirtualMachines (I checked for hidden files as well). On my other computers where I do have Java, these directories are populated. All these computers run Sierra. It looks like the date on the Extensions directory (created or modified) on the 2014 Mini is the date I updated Sierra to 10.12.6. I wouldn't worry about it unless you start seeing files there.

It's normal for those folders to be there. If you haven't installed Java, they're empty.

There is a difference between Java and Javascript. Java is like a plugin that cauess all sorts of issues with your computer.
