I am experiencing the same issue that Bill describes on OSX. I would just add to the description of that problem that it is as if DrJava is not seeing the installation of Corretto8 on the Mac. When launching DrJava, the compiler output pane shows: Compiler ready: JDK 8.0_222 from /Users/<username>/<filelocation>/drjava-beta-20190813-220051.jar I tried adding the path to the location of tools.jar file to the preferences dialog and verified that it is writing that path to the .drjava config file but...

Hi Robert, I just got back from my vacation to find your email. Thanks so much for doing this. I'll be looking into this very soon as our school year starts in one week. I had a quick look at the website and noticed that you have uploaded a new jar version but not new windows/mac app versions. I hate to bother you with this but will you be adding a new app versions that supports OpenJDK? The command line is restricted on my school's computers for students so they won't be able launch the jar version....

Hi again Robert, So I followed your suggestion. I uninstalled OracleJRE and then tried double clicking on exe again and same result. I tried double clicking on jar file but it didn't work as it seemed that the system didn't know where to find the JRE. However I used the command prompt and DrJava loaded just fine and worked just fine. Maybe your suggestion about the registry being mucked up could be the issue after all? I'd still love to hear how it goes for you when you try on your Windows 10 machine....
