First of all, you should download a Java development kit (JDK), containing the Java virtual machine (JVM) and other resources for developing Java applications. Since LITIENGINE has been created with Java 8, you need at least JDK 8 on your machine.
The official Oracle JDK has seen some severe licensing changes in 2019, requiring a paid license for developing commercial applications!
Here is a short overview over some entirely free JDK distributions:
name | implementations |
---|---|
AdoptOpenJDK | JDK 8, JDK 11, JDK 15 |
Amazon Correto | JDK 8, JDK 11, JDK 15 |
Oracle Open JDK | JDK 15 |
Red Hat OpenJDK | JDK 8, JDK 11, JDK 15 |
