Unable to get OpenOffice 4.1.7 to recognize AdoptOpenJDK JDK with Eclipse OpenJ9 8.0.222.10 as a JRE.

Available JDKs:
AdoptOpenJDK JDK with Eclipse OpenJ9 8.0.222.10 (x64)
AdoptOpenJDK JDK with Eclipse OpenJ9 8.0.222.10 (x86)
Question:
- What does OpenOffice 4.1.7 look for to determine if a JRE is present in a directory?
- Is AdoptOpenJDK JDK with Eclipse OpenJ9 supported? Or is a version using OpenJDK HotSpot needed instead?
- Uninstalled OpenOffice 4.1.7 from system
- Uninstalled AdoptOpenJDK (x86)
- Uninstalled AdoptOpenJDK (x64)
- Rebooted system
- Installed AdoptOpenJDK (x86)
- Installed AdoptOpenJDK (x64)
- Rebooted system

- Waited for 5+ minutes per viewtopic.php?f=6&t=97818&p=469224&hili ... DK#p469239, no change to list of available JREs
- Tried "Add" button, selecting various directories under the install locations (c:\Program Files\AdoptOpenJDK and c:\Program Files (x86)\AdoptOpenJDK), each time receiving the message, "The folder you selected does not contain a Java runtime environment. Please select a different folder."
- viewtopic.php?f=6&t=97818 - Alternate JRE
- viewtopic.php?f=16&t=99799&hilit=AdoptOpenJDK - (Solved) New Install
