Hi Olaf, I just spent some time on testing OpenJDK wich I had for a longer time 11.0.2. I have switched my whole system to OpenJDK - JAVA_HOME etc. I did switch JAVA in Moonshine as well. From the user perspective everything was working fine.
I was able to build Royale project, code intelligence was working without the problem, both in Moonshine and VSCode. I don't know how will work build of Royale itself, but that is secondary in my opinion. In the end you are the consumer of SDK and very rarely developer of it.
