B4J Question How to run APP.jar on WINDOWS and macOS

[pcicom]

Greetings, could you help me by telling me which versions of Java must be installed on WINDOWS and MAC to be able to run the APP created with B4J..

Currently I compile with jdk1.8.0_151 and it works on WINDOWS and on MACOS I install jre8u_411 and it works fine.

But if I compile with jdk after jdk1.8.0_151 on WINDOWS it WORKS but on MAC it doesn't work...

What should be the LATEST versions to work on WINDOWS and MAC?

Thank you

My personal opinion is that if it "ain't broke, don't fix it". So if jars complied with jdk8_151 work on both Windows and MACOS then continue using 151. Why bother updating? Update only if you need have to.

If you are building a standalone package with Java 11+ then it will include all dependencies.
Building a Windows standalone package is trivial. Building a Mac package requires an Apple developer account and is a bit more complex: MacSigner - Building notarized Mac packages

Thanks Erel.

If I compile with java C:\Java\jdk1.8.0_151\bin\javac.exe, on Windows and MAC they work without problem.
In macOS I install JAVA jre-8u411-macosx-x64.dmg and not everything works,
but if another sdk is installed in macOS my APP no work.

If you are distributing Mac apps then you will need to use Java 11+ with MacSigner.
