Isn’t there an openjdk impl in like every major Linux distro repository?

And so I assume the same would be available for windows?

yes, but that doesn't help if the software refuses to run on modern java

You assumed the switch needs to happen on the JDK. It's actually that we bought this software that depends on the old version with a perpetual license 18 years ago before every decided SaaS was god so we've got another 3 years left before ROI breaks even

Some crappy software actively checks for a specific version, and you can't work around that.

Can you edit the byte code with a hex editor to change that check?

Not if you want support from the vendor :p

Just build the OSS version of java-impl with the patched version number as expected by the shitty software.
