I have a M1 macbook, I am working on my java project,
when I run

Code Block $ which java

The output was

Code Block /usr/bin/java

But when I try to get the version using

Code Block $ java --version

then this was the output

Code Block The operation couldn’t be completed. Unable to locate a Java Runtime.

Code Block Please visit http://www.java.com for information on installing Java.

I verified that the system also has javac at /usr/bin/javac
I am unable to run the java file to compile

Thanks

Apple hasn’t supported its own flavour of Java for a long time, meaning that you’ll need to use a third-party Java setup (the obvious choice being the one from java.com). If you need help with your third-party Java setup, your best option is to escalate that via the vendor’s support channel.
