I've been trying for a while now to get JDeveloper to use the latest JDK (17.0.1). I've searched around and the answers I've found have all said to change "SetJavaHome" in either jdev.conf or product.conf. I've tried both and both times when I tried to run JDeveloper it gave me a popup saying:

"You are attempting to run with Java 17.0.1

Running this product is supported with a minimum Java version of 1.8 and a maximum version less than 1.9.

Update SetJavaHome in C:\Users\sudoc\AppData\Roaming\JDeveloper\12.2.1.4.0\product.conf to point to another Java.

This product will not be supported, and may not run correctly if you proceed. Continue anyway?"

Since 1.8 is so far below 17, I feel like I might be trying to change the wrong thing. Any ideas? I'm running windows 11 and I just installed JDeveloper yesterday, so it should be the latest version.

JDK 1.8 has passed a test of time and its very common to use that but 1.17 is latest version and this version has not passed test of time so its better to use 1.8 or maybe 1.11 is good too.

Is there any compelling reason that you need to use JDeveloper? Otherwise, there are other options such as IntelliJ IDEA (community version) which is great for Java.
