Hello, I have the following problem:
I get the following message when trying to run db connect app 3.1.4 with these openJDK versions:
zulu8.36.0.1-ca-jdk8.0.202-win_x64
OpenJDK8U-jdk_x64_windows_hotspot_8u202b08
{'message': 'Unsupported JRE detected', 'jre_need': 'Need Oracle Corporation JRE version 1.8 or OpenSDK 1.8', 'jre_using': 'Using Azul Systems, Inc. JRE version 1.8, OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM'} validate java command: D:\Java\zulu8.36.0.1-ca-jdk8.0.202-win_x64\bin\java.
{'message': 'Unsupported JRE detected', 'jre_need': 'Need Oracle Corporation JRE version 1.8 or OpenSDK 1.8', 'jre_using': 'Using AdoptOpenJdk JRE version 1.8, OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM'} validate java command: D:\Java\OpenJDK8U-jdk_x64_windows_hotspot_8u202b08\jdk8u202-b08\bin\java.
I tried it with OpenJDK in versions 1.8 and 12 from RedHat.
I have already tried the following:

Unfortunately without success!
Does anyone else have an idea??
Thanks
I think I got it fixed. Below is the change that I made on my Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS instance.

Primarily two things:
The problem was that, with JRE_VENDOR_KEY originally set to "java.vendor", the value came out of the Ubuntu OpenSDK build is "Private Build". But with "java.specification.vendor", it would be:
java.specification.vendor = Oracle Corporation
The change is made against version 3.1.4 from Splunkbase.
