jEdit should search in a subfolder "jre" where a jlink'ed JDK 11 would do the trick. E.g. Launch4j offers that explicitly. Best of all would be if jEdit would have something like config.ini in the folder where a jre can be configured relatively to the executable. Eclipse does it that way. Moving forward to JDK 11 is a good thing for sure. It gives jEdit a future. But you should rethink to deliver the installer with a specific jre which comes along. It's not *that* big if you strip it down to the needed modules and it is specifically thought that way (also from the licensing perspective). Just my2cents. --- ** [bugs:#4119] JEDIT 5.6 Says Needs JRE 11, Goes to Random page** **Status:** open **Group:** minor bug **Created:** Sun May 01, 2022 12:10 AM UTC by dbareis **Last Updated:** Mon May 02, 2022 07:12 PM UTC **Owner:** nobody **Attachments:** - [JRE 11 Required.png](https://sourceforge.net/p/jedit/bugs/4119/attachment/JRE%2011%20Required.png) (3.1 kB; image/png) Running JEDIT from installed Windows icons displays a message saying JRE runtime environment needed which takes you to "https://openjdk.java.net/install/" and that page doesn't even have "11" in it anywhere. I assume "http://www.jedit.org/index.php?page=compatibility#win" is also supposed to tell me something and fails to do that. Talk about leaving users in the lurch... If oracle have a JRE 11 I haven't found it. Googling hasn't helped so far. "https://jdk.java.net/archive/" appears to be where jedit should direct people (I'm about to try it). Better yet if you creat a page to inform people what they should do. --- Sent from sourceforge.net because [email protected] is subscribed to https://sourceforge.net/p/jedit/bugs/ To unsubscribe from further messages, a project admin can change settings at https://sourceforge.net/p/jedit/admin/bugs/options.
