Which third-party Java Run-time Environment (JRE) does Microsoft recommend?
Because Microsoft does not support third-party Java implementations, including monitoring and fixes of potential and exposed security vulnerabilities, we do not distribute or make recommendations on these products. However, customers can install any compatible Java virtual machine on any computer running Microsoft Windows that they wish. Microsoft works with third parties to ensure that they have all of the information they need for their technologies to work well in the Windows environment.
