Important: You must choose a Java version above the minimum supported level for your Deploy installation. This ensures maximum flexibility for future software upgrades, letting you update Deploy and Java in separate steps rather than simultaneously. For instance, Deploy 8.1.x supports Java 11 (minimum), 17, and 21, installing Java 17 prevents a mandatory concurrent Java upgrade when moving to the next major Deploy release.
