Re: Best Java version for ACS (Marco Facchinetti)

I am still on 1.1.9.5 using Semeru. It's been as stable as it gets.
There's info on it on my IBM i Reference Pages Blog on the "Helpful Tips by Category" page.

I'm having problems using some facets of ACS 1.1.9.5. The problems
are not new to that version, but that's what I'm currently using. The
biggest issue is that using ***multi-tab*** green screens randomly
changes the window size, sometimes to double the size of my monitor, other times to 2"
x 3" window. Another issue is ACS crashing or locking up if I have
too many windows/sessions open. (No judgement! We manage 30
partitions here.) ACS "About" says:

java.version: 17.0.9
java.vendor: Eclipse Adoptium
java.home: C:\Program Files (x86)\Eclipse
Adoptium\jre-17.0.9.9-hotspot

(Adoptium is our company's current standard to replace Oracle.) IBM
support wants me to use Java 11 which, if I understand Java versioning
correctly, seems like a downgrade. They are specifically recommending
IBM OpenJ9's Java 11, which is at least 3 years old. Their download
site shows
OpenJ9 Java 21 LTS. Not knowing how much longer IBM will support
version
11 (LTS), I'm wondering if anyone is using a version of OpenJ9 Java
newer than version 11 and not having problems with ACS.
