As my uninspiring maths teacher used to say, "You're right: No
question is too dumb to ask. But you may be too dumb to understand the
answer"! So theres that..
I dont know that any version of Java is installed in Windows by
default, but anyway, mine was an "upgrade" from W10 and Java 8 was
already installed.
I dont want the whole JDK (Im at the end of my month's broadband
quota). So am I to understand that JDK17 includes Java runtime V11? If
so then Oracle's version system is even more screwed up than mine! 8,
11, 17..?
Anyway, I found my way to the V11 runtime, but now they want me to
sign up to be able to download it!! I never used to have to do that
before. I may revert to V8 if theyll still allow me to download it
without an account. If not, Im not sure what I'll do..

Hi Per,
Never a dumb question from you.
I thought win 11 had a recent version of java installed.
If it doesn't :
https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/downloads/#jdk17-windows
This will install the full jdk, not just the runtime.
When I go to java.com all I get is this:
"
This site https://www.java.com/ is experiencing technical
difficulty. We are aware of the issue and are working as quick as
possible to correct the issue.

What a crock!

Hi all,
SMSQmulator 2.33 is out now.
Just a small bugfix release, notably for the NFA device, which is
now marked as a format type 4.
http://www.wlenerz.com/smsqmulator/
Season's Greetings to all!
Thank you!
Now for the dumb questions:
When I follow the link on your website to check for latest Java
update I only ever get shown V8.xx.xx updates. You write on your
website that SMSQmulator V2.33 will be the last for Java 8, so I
want to be ahead of the curve. Also, as you will know from our
correspondence, Im having unresolvable "issues" with SMSQmulator on
Windows 11, so Im hoping these can eventually be resolved by trying
a different Java.
But I cant see Java V11 anywhere on the java.com website. So I
uninstalled Java V8 and tried again; still only V8 on offer.
Digging a bit further I find there is a Java 17 out there. This is
what Oracle seems to want us to download on starting from scratch now.
So, what do I do?
