Hi Terry, Java 8 is fine. For 9 and later, it is the JPMS - Java Modules Brave New World. I am looking into it today.

In the olden days I used to be able to use the javadoc documentation to root around in the classes, but I cannot seem to find that now (after lots of googling/duckduckgo'ing). If you've got a pointer to javadoc for version 11, I might be able to limp along a little further 😉 >> >> On 2022-01-24 03:50, René Jansen wrote: >>> Dear developers, >>> >>> I am releasing 4.02 today as an (not marked as such) release candidate.
