A.  I can certainly look for the output from Java — but that was not the point 
— nothing was captured to CAPTURE with either scenarios.
B.  I tried changing case — that did not solve the problem.

The issue remains — when I execute the system command, the text output that I 
presented below is not being displayed.
Is there a way to capture that output?  If so, I can certainly figure out how 
to parse it.

These seem to work for me:

 system("Java -version 2>&1", intern = TRUE)

 system2("Java","-version", stdout = TRUE, stderr = TRUE)

These are based on reading the help pages, which sometimes helps.
