Hi, I am using windows 10. My knowledge to Java is up to Java 8 or oracle JDK. I have very good memory of GWT 12 years ago and now start to learn Vaadin. In the e-book titled “Modern web app development in Java”, it says to download Intellij and Corretto 11. But I could not find Corretto 11 jre which I need to configure Intellij. Are there Corretto 11 jre for windows 10? If yes, where I could download jre?
From a language point of view not much has changed since 8 so you can easily stick to that.
If you want to change https://docs.aws.amazon.com/en_us/corretto/latest/corretto-11-ug/downloads-list.html provides a list of JDKs and JREs to download.
Just FYI:
From a JRE point of view it has changed. You can now use Oracle Java (with its own license) or use the “open” ones:
- Amazon Corretto (https://docs.aws.amazon.com/en_us/corretto/latest/corretto-11-ug/downloads-list.html)
- AdoptOpenJDK (https://adoptopenjdk.net/releases.html)
- Redhat (https://developers.redhat.com/products/openjdk/download)
All these open ones have a more liberal license than the Oracle one. Normally, you won’t notice a difference using them.
One very interesting thing is DCEVM at: https://github.com/TravaOpenJDK/trava-jdk-11-dcevm/releases
It can integrate most code changes dynamically while running the application so you don’t have to restart every time you change something in your code. Just like the commercial JRebel.
