Minion doesn't really install a second version of java on your machine. It just includes the needed java binaries, etc in the Minion install directory to run inside the Java Virtual Machine we use to launch Minion. So its basically a version of Java that Minion can only use inside its sandbox (JVM).

We may look into just releasing a jar download that uses your installed version of java. You could install Minion and just run the Minion-jfx.jar your self too but it could very well crash as its not yet compatible with java8 (we are currently working on that and have a development version that kinda works right now hehe).
