   I would recommend using OpenJDK 8, which seems to be still updated with free support.
   
   This means we need to update the download info in the following places:
   - <https://github.com/apache/cordova-android/blob/d9c08f12a7bceb47ee97ca8ca0e75548e78f999d/bin/templates/cordova/lib/check_reqs.js#L208>
   - <https://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/latest/guide/platforms/android/index.html#java-development-kit-jdk>
   
   I added the **bug** label, think this should be fixed before we make the major release for Cordova 9 (apache/cordova#10).
   
   I posted the following answer on StackOverflow how to install and use OpenJDK 8 on mac, using Homebrew: https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/349465/how-can-i-upgrade-from-oracle-jdk-8-to-openjdk-8-using-homebrew/349466#349466
   
   As a side point, I think use with newer OpenJDK version is not supported by Android build tools: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/49788102/which-java-se-versions-work-with-android-studio-3-1
