Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 128074
AOO 4.1.6 & 4.2.0-dev do not recognize beyond Java 8

Using macOS 10.14. The drop down doesn't list it. I just installed jdk-12.jdk on my computer. Went to AOO preferences to set Java preferences. OpenOffice did not find any JRE. AOO was previously set to use jdk-11.0.2.jdk which is still installed on my computer. Tried to add jdk-12.jdk but get the message "The Java runtime environment you selected is not the required version." Get the same result using AOO 4.1.6 and AOO Developer Build 4.2.0 Was able to add jdk-11.0.2.jdk back to the list of installed Java.
jdk-12.0.1.jdk works on both versions of AOO
See: http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/openoffice-dev/201905.mbox/%3CCAJm2B-mwi1EXZz4FXCcq0coo%3DnksMTjnevVmyaP6yfoNic02XA%40mail.gmail.com%3E AdoptOpenJDK is not detect properly too
Works using jdk-12.0.1.jdk
The title on this was changed from my original report.macOS recognized all versions of Jave until jdk-12.jdk. Java jdk-12.0.1jdk fixed the problem. The bug was in Java, not AOO.
