The JRE version included in the bundled package is 1.8.0_202, which has a number of flaws.
I understand that there are additional licensing issues with Java, and that a different Java runtime may be preferable.
This is why starting with 4.7.0 JRE will not be bundled anymore.

More context on the reason why we stop bundling JRE’s with Openfire is provided in https://discourse.igniterealtime.org/t/removal-of-openfire-artifacts-with-bundled-jres/
Thank you. I installed openjdk version “1.8.0_312” and removed the bundled version. It’s still in the current rpm packages being supplied. I tried v11, but the noarch rpm package didn’t recognize the version. I thought v11 was supported, but it runs great with v8.
