Re: JDK for my PC.

Rob, in the meantime, AdoptOpenJDK got absorbed or bought into another
company and they won't be distributing IBM's J9 runtime anymore. That's why
IBM came with that "marketing did not check what semeru means to a normal
japanese" name.
You can download the semeru runtime built by IBM directly from:
https://developer.ibm.com/languages/java/semeru-runtimes/
And there you can get the Java 11 J9 JDK for Windows.

This has probably been discussed but I haven't really followed along
enough to know anything than I should not be using Oracle JDK on my laptop,
especially if it splashes something similar to "home use".

Trying to follow the IBM suggestions and I'd like to stick with those,
unless there's a really good reason not to.

So I start out with the page: "Java Options for IBM i Access Client
Solutions?" at

https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/java-options-ibm-i-access-client-solutions#:~:text=8.0%20released%20in%20June%202018,current%20update%20of%20Java%2011

This site says: IBM recommends running with a current update of Java 11.

It also says:
IBM i ACS customers can download OpenJDK with the IBM OpenJ9 JVM from here:
https://adoptopenjdk.net/releases.html?variant=openjdk11&jvmVariant=openj9

So I go there. I pick
OpenJDK 11 (LTS) and OpenJ9
Windows

Do I pick

jdk-11.0.12+7_openj9-0.27.0 Semeru Runtimes*
or
jdk-11.0.10+9_openj9-0.24.0 AdoptOpenJDK

The former is "Normal" while the latter is "Large Heap"

Do I download all four files on the right? If so, what do I do with them?
