Doesn't work with AdoptOpenJDK

[strider72]

There is an open source alternative to Java that works with every Java app I run except ColorOracle. I believe this will become more of an issue for users, as Java now charges for updates and more people are moving to the open source version.

Is it possible you're checking for the specific Java software install, rather than checking to see if the functionality exists?

I guess the problem is with Launch4j because the latest build of that also doesn't seem to recognise OpenJDK.

@strider72 could you provide build error output or describe in more detail how Color Oracle does not work with AdoptOpenJDK? I was able to build with OpenJDK 11 on Ubuntu (see #17) but I'm not sure how that's different from AdoptOpenJDK or if the fixes included with #17 make the difference here. Thanks!

On Windows, when I run ColorOracle I get a popup that says: "Color Oracle requires a Java Runtime Environment 6 or higher. 1.6.0". There's an "OK" button that opens my browser to the Java download page.

@strider72 thanks for elaborating!

Latest release of Windows 10 (20H2). Java was uninstalled back when it was no longer free, and alternate installed (and kept updated) via Ninite.

It's a bit of an "advanced user" scenario, but on Windows 11 (perhaps Windows 10 too?) it's also possible to use WSL and run the Linux version.
