Hi, @Reycko.

I read your patch and I really appreciate it. I didn't even know archlinux-java existed and there are more than 2 JVM implementations (oracle/openjdk). Thanks

Best regards.

Hello,

I noticed this AUR package was hardcoded to use jre-openjdk and was also quite out of date, I updated it and added Java version discovery (thru archlinux-java), this should allow people with e.g. Temurin, Zulu, etc to use Mindcode

Another option to do would be to just use java which is a lot simpler but also dependent on the user's default JVM (which could be Java 8 as much as it could be Java 24+)

Let me know if you'd prefer any changes
