What is Liberica JDK and can we use it with B4X?

Hello,

I was suggested by a fellow core JAVA developer to use Liberica JDK instead of standard JAVA JDK from Oracle.

Has anyone tried this with B4X. Can we use it instead of the standard JAVA JDK?

Here is the link.

Java Download | Java 8, Java 11, Java 17, Java 21, Java 22 - OpenJDK Builds for Linux, Windows & macOS

Download Liberica JDK, supported OpenJDK builds. Open source Java 8, 11 and more for Linux, Windows, macOS.

Note that you can use any version of OpenJDK you like. You just need to download the three pieces and put them in the right place:
- OpenJDK
- JavaFX SDK + jmods: https://gluonhq.com/products/javafx/

JavaFX SDK should be in javafx folder.
JavaFX jmods should be in javafx\javafx-jmods folder

For JDK 17:

OpenJDK 17.0.2 (choose Windows / x64 zip and extracted as jdk-17.0.2 folder under C:\Java or your preferred directory)
Download: https://jdk.java.net/archive/

JavaFX 17.0.2 (extract the SDK to jdk-17.0.2 directory extracted above as javafx folder, jmods into this javafx directory as javafx-jmods)

Liberica JDK doesn't follow this structure so you still need to copy the javafx + jmods folders into it.

you are right but that is for develpment. when installed on client machine, that specific structure is not needed

I think it would work for B4A and B4i but B4J requires javafx folder in a specific structure. Liberica JDK doesn't follow this structure so you still need to copy the javafx + jmods folders into it.
