This has probably been discussed but I haven't really followed along enough to know anything than I should not be using Oracle JDK on my laptop, especially if it splashes something similar to "home use".
Trying to follow the IBM suggestions and I'd like to stick with those, unless there's a really good reason not to.
So I start out with the page: "Java Options for IBM i Access Client Solutions?" at
https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/java-options-ibm-i-access-client-solutions#:~:text=8.0%20released%20in%20June%202018,current%20update%20of%20Java%2011
This site says: IBM recommends running with a current update of Java 11.
It also says:
IBM i ACS customers can download OpenJDK with the IBM OpenJ9 JVM from here:
https://adoptopenjdk.net/releases.html?variant=openjdk11&jvmVariant=openj9
So I go there. I pick
OpenJDK 11 (LTS) and OpenJ9
Windows
Do I pick
jdk-11.0.12+7_openj9-0.27.0 Semeru Runtimes*
or
jdk-11.0.10+9_openj9-0.24.0 AdoptOpenJDK
The former is "Normal" while the latter is "Large Heap"
Do I download all four files on the right? If so, what do I do with them?
