I’m very much not fond of this approach, because who’s to say you
want the lowest?

I’d rather have the local admin or invoking user specify the version
to use if the default version is not it, and if you have to run two
incompatible ones from a script then you have to set an environment
variablke at some point inside that script and so be it.

Besides, what’s compatible? Some things may run with an older/newer
JRE but others won’t.

And how are you going to retrofit anything new to the old JDKs/JREs now?
We cannot simply add new things now to old releases.
