Hello
As I remember, Java 1.6 was the last version for Mac directly from
Apple. After then you have to use Java from Oracle at Mac too.
Kind regards

Just tested with AdoptOpenJDK 8 [1] and AOO 4.1.8 on macOS Catalina.
It is discovered and functional without any Java6 installed (At least I
didn't install it...)

Oh, that is good to know. I didn't realize that. Is that automatic? I mean if JAVA_HOME is set to Java9 or later and AOO is opened, does it no longer throw up that "legacy Java6" window?

Due to a bug in Java, Java7 & Java8 would not work in OpenOffice unless the legacy Java6 from
Apple was also installed.
Java9 and newer work without Java6 being installed.
