Some updates can be made to the max-mxj~ package readme
The max-mxj~ package needs to be updated to include a line that tells you to navigate to https://www.java.com/en/download/ to get it running on Windows to download the JRE. The SE Development kit alone will need the JRE downloaded as well, or mxj~ object will come up bogus. Perhaps this doesn't need to be in the readme and can be in the "requirements."
It says "Build as on MacOS" , but Windows doesn't use Xcode.
There are a few typos, "embedded" is consistently spelled incorrectly.
Also, the s3 link under continuous integration is currently broken
And from Alex:
A user was unable to open MaxScore on their Windows machine. I could repro on my windows 11 machine, and ultimately found that I needed to download a fresh JRE in addition to the JDK 18 in order to get MaxScore (and in fact, any mxj classes) working.
This was surprising to me, as I thought that the JDK included the JRE.
However, I could confirm that this could get mxj working on Windows 11, and it worked for the user as well. I recommended the user also update to JDK 18 from the JDK 17 that shipped with MaxScore.
Hi, I'll handle some of them, I'm preparing a MR for macOS and M1. Maybe the point about MaxScore should be a separated issue, with inputs from its makers.

For the sentence regarding the renaming of the JDK, it is not necessary as the folder is named jdk1.8.1 when downloaded from https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/downloads/
