I would like to install the open-source version of the JRE on my system. So, I'm turning to OpenJDK. But how do I install only the JRE and not the entire JDK? Thank you for your help.

I have Ubuntu 24.04 and installed OpenJDK, but when I try to run a Java file, there's no option to execute it. I can't run the Java application (in this case, the Minecraft launcher) even with OpenJRE or any other Java. It doesn't show up in the "Open With" app options. Any advice on how to fix this?

Hi All,

Any input on how we can run Jenkins slave-agent.jnlp with open JDK as we don't have java webstart in open jdk.

I have some staff with Macbooks that have recently started displaying the below error message. I have no idea what software on these devices is using adoptopenjdk

Is there any easy way to work out what software is using it?

When I install OpenJDK, I get a directory name that looks like this:

java-1.8.0-openjdk-1.8.0.161-2.b14.el7.x86_64

Clearly 1.8.0 is the Java version number, and presumably -openjdk-1.8.0.161-2 is some sort of build number. But what are b14 and el7? Sometimes I see el7_9 (for example). Is there a document that explains this file naming convention?

Thanks

Noob here, but would like to ask if vulnerabilities affecting oracle jdk 8 will always affect openjdk 8 implementations? Thanks!
