The company is using old proprietary software that breaks unless a specific java version is used. And don't want to upgrade/switch because it is too expensive.

Isn’t there an openjdk impl in like every major Linux distro repository?
And so I assume the same would be available for windows?

Some crappy software actively checks for a specific version, and you can't work around that.

Can you edit the byte code with a hex editor to change that check?

wrote on last edited by [email protected]You assumed the switch needs to happen on the JDK. It's actually that we bought this software that depends on the old version with a perpetual license 18 years ago before every decided SaaS was god so we've got another 3 years left before ROI breaks even

What is it about Java where companies are hesitate to upgrade? Do the Java releases always bring breaking changes or are the companies that use Java have a culture of not prioritising tech upgrades?

Java 8 to 21 + spring boot 2 to 3 brought the need to change a lot of dependencies, but often they were drop-in replacements. That was mostly Jakarta stuff. On the Spring side, a lot of things we used were deprecated, but that was not related to the Java version.
Did not take a huge amount of time to upgrade anyway. But maybe our systems weren't the most complex in the first place, a lot of our applications were pretty small.
