Check for running Java JRE's that can be recommended by us!

[TBrandhorst]

E.g. provide an own JRE for AWB with justj (see https://www.eclipse.org/justj/) or use a ready made JRE's and its installer (see https://adoptopenjdk.net/)

One major change of Java 9 is that Java is now a modular platform. Thus, you need to create/specify your own jre with the modules you need. You can use tools like JLink to do so. If found an online tool ,which maybe can help us . Furthermore there are Introductions how to define your own JRE with JLink .

In this blog from stackoverflow, you can see which JDKs can be used for free. Below you find a list of some of them.
