"Cannot find Java 1.8 or higher".
It actually works with current Java, but you have to edit a configuration file first!
I have no idea why they find that acceptable and still ship it in this state.
It’s a purely open-source project now with not a lot of contributors and no company backing.
Again: it works perfectly with current Java (the ones everyone has by now), it is documented, they just chose a wrong default.
Don't tell me the sob story about the poor open source project. At some point the users' experience has to count, as well.
send a patch then, or alternatively listen to the poor open source projects sob story.
Well fix it then?
Indeed, it prefers "current" Java (17ish). I'm pretty sure you can't build NB on Java8 any more.
