Spurious? JDK Error Message. #841

When I start Manga Downloader, I get a dialog telling me that I need JDK 22 or newer. If I am reading the Java output correctly, I have v25:

PS C:\Users\Nexist> java -version
java version "1.8.0_421"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_421-b09)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 25.421-b09, mixed mode, sharing)

The Java Console indicates that I have no other version installed.

You have Java 8 (JRE): java version "1.8.0_421" https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/javase/jdk8-naming.html You need to install the JDK , you can install it without the need to remove JRE (after a reboot Java will automatically use the JDK)

This is the output of java -version when you have the JDK v22: image

Thank you. I will express my annoyance with Oracle that the latest version of Java did not put the latest JDK on my computer as well.

Normal user doesn't need the JDK until You are programmer who develops java applications. Seems MD uses some kind of VM needed to get access to the site and this VM needs JDK platform to work. Normal user usually needs only JRE on machine.
