Suggestions for a JRE/JDK strategy on an Oracle Forms 14c client machine.

Hello everyone, What is your opinion or strategy regarding which Java client to use on the end user machine for Oracle Forms 14c? In version 8, it was possible to install only the Java Runtime Environment (JRE), but this is no longer possible in later versions (e.g., 17). Only the Java Development Kit (JDK) is available, and customers often ask if the entire package is necessary. Is it possible to use JRE 1.8 with Oracle Forms 14c? Are there any Oracle-supported alternatives to JDK 17?

Thank you very much for your time and comments.

Best regards,

Javier
