We know understand why you were asking this question. It's because of 
Oracle changed the licenses attached to its Java SE distributions. 
(Oracle Java SE Releases FAQ: 
https://blogs.oracle.com/java-platform-group/oracle-java-se-releases-faq).

We are currently implementing the following changes:

* As of XMLmind XML Editor v9 (our next release), we'll fully support 
OpenJDK as well as Oracle Java runtimes in *all* our products.

* All our launchers, xxe.exe, xslutil.exe, w2x-app.exe will be able to 
use OpenJDK runtimes as well as Oracle Java runtimes if found installed 
on the computer.

* We'll bundle our commercial products with a private OpenJDK runtime 
(license GPLv2 with Classpath Extension allows that). This private Java 
runtime will probably be latest OpenJDK Java 12 64-bit + JavaFX. 
However, our launchers, xxe.exe, xslutil.exe, w2x-app.exe will not use 
this private 64-bit runtime when running on a 32-bit version of Windows. 
Instead, they'll use the 32-bit Java runtime installed on the computer, 
if any.

* We get all our OpenJDK distributions from: AdoptOpenJDK, 
https://adoptopenjdk.net/index.html , a great resource, very well organized.
