03/06/2021, 7:33 AMI know the packaging features of Desktop Compose tooling require JDK 14, but what are the JRE requirements of the produced runtime; does that also have to be JDK14? What's the minimum? My interest is to run Desktop Compose on Raspberry Pi which is 32-bit OpenJDK11 by default. Thanks!

03/06/2021, 7:42 AMWhen you create a native bundle, the JRE is bundled into the native binary, so there is no need to have a JRE on the device where the native bundle is installed. If the target machine already has a JRE installed on the system, that won't harm anything, it will just be ignored.

This will require a bit of effort on your end, but should be a very tractable problem if you're willing to do a couple of C++ builds. There are some threads on this topic in this channel if you do a search.
