Isn’t there an openjdk impl in like every major Linux distro repository?
And so I assume the same would be available for windows?
Some crappy software actively checks for a specific version, and you can't work around that.
Can you edit the byte code with a hex editor to change that check?
Just build the OSS version of java-impl with the patched version number as expected by the shitty software.
