Can't install Java on Pi Zero #2

This isn't an issue with your repo, but how did you install Java on your Pi? I've been having problems with that

I managed to install it. (I've been trying for a couple of days)

It's surprisingly difficult! I don't believe Raspbian Buster supports Java on the Pi Zero.

The Pi Zero has an ARMv6 CPU which the OpenJDK JRE packages stopped supporting in Java 9. And Java 8 has reached end-of-life so was last available in Raspbian Stretch.

For anyone else having trouble: I've had success using the Zulu Community JRE from Azul as they still build and publish ARMv6 binaries. Go for the 32-bit ARM hard-float version.
