I was going to ask if the jdk and the jre can interfere with each other, but I see from your comments that, at least if I use Oracle's version, they don't.
Dick, JRE is a subset of the JDK. The former allows you to run java applications while the latter adds the tools to write java applications, too.
Will I run into trouble trying to install the jdk with an existing jre? Or should I uninstall the existing jre and then install the jdk?
You can run multiple versions simultaneously. Doesn't matter if they're Oracle's stuff or openjdk/openjre. But, some applications use the FX widget set rather than an older one and some of the open* don't include javajfx. For simplicity, install Oracle's versions needed by the software you run. Good luck!
