Supported Windows OpenJDK?
Answered
Hello,
Other than the Oracle JDK are any OpenJDK (Azul, JetBrains runtime, etc.) supported for JDK (not just JRE) on Windows? And are there any options for JavaFX (OpenJFX?) on Windows?
Many thanks.

Yes, you can use OpenJDK for development instead of Oracle JDK.
Bundled JetBrains Runtime doesn't contain all the files from JDK distribution and cannot be used for development.
I noticed the bundled JB Runtime does not include the full JDK however the releases at https://bintray.com/jetbrains/intellij-jdk/openjdk8-windows-x64#files seem to contain a full JDK or am I mistaken?
Yes, you could try using these releases, but they are supposed to run JetBrains products only and may have some issues that are not present in the standard JDK distributions (though, it's unlikely).
