15 years later: OpenWorkbench with AdopOpenJDK
A question came in over on AdoptOpenJDK Slack channel about how to get OpenWorkbench -- a 2005 app written in C++ but uses a custom Niku-authored C++ to Java bridge for talking to the JVM -- working with AdopOpenJDK. Turns out it does work (at least it starts up!). Here's how: It must be the 32-bit version (x86) of AdoptOpenJDK8 It must be the JRE ( NOT the JDK) Direct Link: https://github.com/AdoptOpenJDK/openjdk8-binaries/releases/download/jdk8u242-b08/OpenJDK8U-jre_x86-32_windows_hotspot_8u242b08.msi You must click the checkbox for JavaSoft ( NOT JAVA_HOME) That's it, OpenWorkbench will startup with AdopOpenJDK with the above steps. Keywords: openworkbench no JRE at startup Cannot start or find the Java JRE (4) the JRE may not have been installed or the registry may be incorrect.
