Just hoping that googling How To Install Java, would get builds other than Oracle's.

I've been using sdkman.io/ for a while now. Gives me the option to choose versions and builds. Not sure if it fits your needs, but you could give it a shot.

lol. Of course I know how, but not for most laypersons that I don't want to bundle JRE.

Haha, I think the easiest is to work with VSCode Coding Pack: aka.ms/install-java

You can watch me installing and using in 4 minutes here: youtube.com/watch?v=UTzXDmC5q2Y

Personally I use choco to handle that. Easy:

choco install openjdk11

But I get what you mean - it's immediately apparent how to do it for someone who isn't well-versed in the opensource side of Java's ecosystem.

Yes, I also stick with that and use chocolately or homebrew to install and use OpenJDK for my dev machine. But for the apps in production, we need to speak about support as well
