I've also used Zulu with BaseX (Java 14 and 16) successfully. Note that Zulu is a /distribution/ of OpenJDK much the way Ubuntu is distribution of Linux. I've also used Adopt OpenJDK on some machines and have never had any problems with either. If you are working in a corporate setting, you may find the fact that you can buy support for these distributions may help with red tape issues.
Cheers,
Eric

Hi,
I switched to https://www.azul.com/downloads/zulu-community/ for Windows and Mac shortly after Oracle announced their license change. On Linux I use the built in JDK. Tried Zulu Community on Linux as container for some legacy Java that had to be run or built with some of the older versions 8 and before.
Never had any problems.
It seems BaseX is a software that doesn't use anything only Oracle has in their distribution.
I start to forget about Oracle as primary source of Java. Any OpenJDK is good these days I think. I hope that is what they intended to achieve.
Best regards

Guys,
I was wondering what the options are for running BaseX on top of a runtime that is different from the Oracle one? I see Oracle is aggressively monetizing the Java runtime, but I know there are alternatives out there. Have any been tested with BaseX?
