An installer is much more user friendly since some people may not know what to do with the JDK after they download it. They might not know they need to add java to the path in order to

Could the Java links under **System Requirements** be changed from:

```markdown
* Download - [https://jdk.java.net/](https://jdk.java.net/)

```
to:
```markdown
* Windows Installer - [Oracle JDK 26 Downloads](https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/downloads/#jdk26-windows) (select the x64 Installer)
* Direct Download - [https://jdk.java.net/](https://jdk.java.net/)

```
