      From Confluence 6.13.x onward, the application accept the AdoptOpenJDK JVM.

      If we attempt to install/run Confluence 6.13.x or above when using the OPENJ9 flavor, the application will crash with the following error in the UI and a stacktrace in the logs:

      Based on the supported platforms, there are no mentions of which flavor Confluence should support, therefore we must test with all provided or specify which one is supported.

      How to replicate

      Install the AdoptOpenJDK with OPENJ9 flavor and set the JAVA_HOME system variable to use this version.

      Expected behavior

      Confluence should run correctly with this JDK flavor.

      Workaround

      Install the AdoptOpenJDK using the HOTSPOT flavor instead.

      In case the Linux package installer does not provide the option to choose the flavor, it should be installed manually on the server and the JAVA_HOME variable changed to the new path.
