This is general advice to everyone not just Mr. Jarek - use IBM's Semeru JRE instead of Oracle's shit whenever you can. If only because they don't make you go through a fucking humiliation ritual to hunt down older versions. I lost 2 hours of my life unfucking a machine someone used one of those stupid near-malware "Software Updaters" on in lieu of real remote management because whatever the fuck they did completely nuked Windows' MSI cache (why is this still a thing). Couldn't update Oracle's Java, their installer crashed. Couldn't fucking uninstall it, MSI was missing. And Oracles own installers never expose the MSI unless you watch Temp, grab it, then kill the installer. Fuck Oracle. Plus they offer portable ZIPs. Never thought I'd thank IBM for being based. Been using Semeru for a few years now and I finally saw it in the wild packaged with some proprietary medical software as their JRE of choice for the first time last week.
I threw jDownloader into a Server Core VM with only 4 GB RAM and watched how it behaved with tens of thousands of items in the download history, then compared performance with a few different JVMs. Semeru came out way the fuck on top for memory management (it actually let it go) and edged out one other (forgor) for performance. It's also a lot more tunable (with runtime args I set in jDownloader and forgot about) than Oracle's. Peep the docs if you're interested. Long since stopped using jDownloader (because it's ass)

Fuck it I'm bored. I'm going to paste your entire log into Claude and see what "RESEARCH (Beta)" really means. I got sidetracked making slop. Armpits.

That's probably the one you'll want. Unless Xentry requires a specific stanky old version of Java.
