Hello

I advise you to use the latest release candidate and I don't see why it wouldn't work with a particular implementation of OpenJDK. I use both the OpenJDK JDK of my GNU Linux distribution and AdoptOpenJDK.

You're not forced to use a more recent version of Java but in my humble opinion, from a security perspective, don't plan to use Java 8 forever as OpenJDK 8 won't benefit of security fixes when the next LTS version is out (Java 17 due to September 2021).

Moreover, I don't advise the use of modified builds of OpenJDK because if their tiny changes were really interesting, they would be in OpenJDK itself (maybe I'm a bit naive on Oracle's role) and I don't encourage Java fragmentation.

Why don't you use VTK 9.0.0?

Best regards.
