Thanks for clarifying. Yeah, I have no interest turning a Java GUI that's been working for 20 years into a React app.
I probably have to admit I have a manager who doesn't really align with my needs. He's great at the business side but terrible at the technology side. That's why I'm still around, because he does back me up, but he won't get into battles about downloading VisualVM. We have jdk8 installed and it's in there, just use that! Why do you need the latest version? It's frustrating, but I do like my manager and my team, they just have the ability to roll over and follow the damn rules sooner than I prefer.
