The debian java/JRE/JDK situation seems insane.
bookworm (stable) is shipping JRE 17, lots of applications require at least 21, Trixie (next stable) is shipping JRE 21, the the current openJDK JRE version is 23
Most of the time if you search for the errors caused by out of date JRE's you get "just install Oracle JDK" with instructions, but as far as I can squint that comes with some licencing payment obligation. All of this feels like putting your head into a alligators mouth!
