This is also an update from jre8 to 14. Is that intended? Any downsides with that? I can only test if it compiles but thought it might be worth mentioning.

I don't think java is used for much in kodi. I think it is just bluray support maybe... a quick search says:

Kodi only uses Java at build time to generate some files. It does not use it at runtime. I understand that, but something else might use it if it detects it, browsers etc.

I'm not too concerned about the bump 🤷‍♂️

Maybe @peterhoeg would like to comment.

since it compiles + runs it seems happy with 14 (and as @aanderse say its just build-time dependency)

@georgewhewell - ofborg doesn't evaluate kodi on arm64 but since that's what you are specifically targeting with this PR, is there any chance you could massage that into happening?

@peterhoeg this is an error happening on ofborg aarch64 evals generally recently, not related to these changes.
