(1) xxe now needs Oracle JRE/JDK for launching.
Will the xxe support OSS OpenJDK instead of Oracle JRE/JDK in the future?
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.
