[jedit:bugs] #4119 JEDIT 5.6 Says Needs JRE 11, Goes to Random page

Meanwhile, jedit.exe does not accept the latest Eclipse Temurin. My JRE gets updated by the corporate administrators, they gave me this:

openjdk version "11.0.20" 2023-07-18
OpenJDK Runtime Environment Temurin-11.0.20+8 (build 11.0.20+8)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM Temurin-11.0.20+8 (build 11.0.20+8, mixed mode)

JE 5.6 now tells me it requires a JRE 11 instead of starting up normally.

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.
