AdoptOpenJDK Changes

Anyone installing FileMaker Server then needing to activate the web publishing engine should be aware of changes taking place on the adoptopenjdk.net website.

FileMaker server opens the 'Use Java Runtime Environment' window and provides a link to AdoptOpenJDK at Latest release | AdoptOpenJDK - Open source, prebuilt OpenJDK binaries but 'AdoptOpenJDK is moving to the Eclipse Foundation and rebranding' and 'future releases will come from Adoption.net'

The necessary JRE files (Windows) or tar.zg files (Mac) that are required can be obtained by ignoring the FileMaker Server link and go directly to Latest release | Adoptium - Open source, prebuilt OpenJDK binaries

I have attached screenshots with a Windows x64 filter below to show the path to get to the appropriate page if starting from the FMS link. This should be the same for Macs.

This may appear obvious, but when trying to do an installation, in this case one under pressure, having these little wildcards to deal with can lead to mistakes.

All the best
Andy
