Hi
I am switching to a M1 mac. And so I am curious about the status of,
right now, using XMLmind XML Editor on a M1 mac?
For MacOS, the release notes for the current version of XMLmind XML
Editor (version 9.5.1) says:
* XMLmind XML Editor is now officially supported on macOS Big Sur
(version 11.0), except on Macs having an Apple M1 (ARM-based) processor.
Macs having an Apple M1 will be officially supported by XMLmind Software
as soon as both a “native” OpenJDK and a “native” OpenJFX are
available for this platform.
My experience is that «officially supported» means that it probably
also works even if it is not «officialy supported» as long as OpenJDK
runs.
According to the OpenJDK page at Wikipedia, there is currently just one
distribution of OpenJDK that is built for M1 - the Liberica JDK by
BellSoft. And according BellSoft's download page, Liberica JDK
«includes LibericaFX. It’s a supported version of OpenJFX,»
See: https://bell-sw.com/pages/downloads/#mn
So, I guess I can sum up my question like this: Should I expect that
XMLmind XML Editor will work with Liberica JDK on a M1 (or ARM-based)
mac?
