      Hi Sunayna,

      Following up to this note [0], sending the corrections to jdk-windows
      docs on customer portal. It would be great to have them updated to
      July release.

      Thanks!

      [1][2]:

      "On Microsoft Windows, these libraries are built from the sources of
      the corresponding Red Hat Enterprise Linux RPMs."

      This bit is no longer correct, only FreeType is left, updated formulation:

      "On Microsoft Windows, FreeType library is built from the sources of
      the corresponding Red Hat Enterprise Linux RPM."

      [3][10]:

      "OpenJDK archive for Windows

      OpenJDK 8 and 11 distributions for all supported Windows hosts.
      Recommended for cases where multiple OpenJDK versions may be installed
      on a host. This distribution includes the following:

      Java Web Start
      Mission Control
      Flight Recorder "

      I suggest removing "Flight Recorder" from this list, it is not a
      separate component, it is an integral part of JVM and is included on
      RHEL in the same way as on Windows.

      [4]:

      "Download the MSI-based installer" this link is incorrect, it points
      to 8u272, it needs either to be updated on every release or dropped,
      it is not possible to link to "latest jdk8" on CSP.

      [5]:

      Additional features:

      to add after "jdk_registry_jar":

      "jmc" - JDK Mission Control Files

      "jmc_env" - Appends '<jdk>/missioncontrol' to the 'PATH' system
      environment variable.

      to add after "webstart_migrate":

      "webstart_plugin" - Installs plugin.jar file into '<jdk>/jre/lib/' for
      compatibility with third-party applications. Web-browser plugin
      implementation is NOT included.

      [6]:

      "Mission Control - Path Variable" needs to be moved up in table to be
      above the webstart.

      "Mission Control - Files" needs to be added before "Mission Control -
      Path Variable".

      "Web Start - Install plugin.jar" needs to be added at the end of the table.

      "(Beta)" label needs to be removed from "Web Start (Beta)".

      I don't understand the meaning of "OpenJDK 8 for Windows" column in
      this table, I suggest removing it.

      [7][9]:

      "On Microsoft Windows, these libraries are built from the sources of
      the corresponding Red Hat Enterprise Linux RPMs and packaged as
      dynamic-link libraries (DLLs). "

      This bit is no longer correct and needs to be removed.

      [8]:

      "Java Web Start - Red Hat build of OpenJDK supports Java Web Start for
      Windows and RHEL. "

      This is not correct for Windows, on Windows WebStart is supported only
      with jdk8, and this page is for 11.

      [11]:

      "Download the archive of OpenJDK 11.0.9. "

      Link is broken, it contains unsubstituted template argument, correct link: [12]

      "11.0.9" version is incorrect here, it should be just 11 or the latest
      minor version.

      [13]:

      At point 9 only jdk11 output needs to be listed.

      [14]:

      WebStart needs to be removed from this table (it is about jdk11, no
      WebStart there)

      "Mission Control - Files" needs to be added before "Mission Control -
      Path Variable".

      I also suggest dropping the last column.
