Thanks, everyone, for your comments. Our IT folks are testing OpenRefine with Amazon Corretto (on Windows) and it seems to be working fine. I’m also going to test it on my own machine but, for our institutional purposes, it seems that Corretto will do the job for computers that have OpenRefine. Best, Jamene

I'm a little late to the discussion, but thought I could some useful information. Oracle Java now requires a paid license. OpenJDK Java from java.net is free, but old versions will not get security and bug-fix updates as soon as a new version is available, which is not a nice situation if you want stability. Oracle Java has been just a supported build of OpenJDK for some time, so they should be extremely compatible. Several companies have promised to support OpenJDK 8 and 11 as stable distributions for quite a few years. Amazon Corretto, Azul Zulu, RedHat (on RHEL) are some examples. Users of Oracle JDK should migrate to one of these.
