For your interest, Panos answer to my question on the mailing-list:

We have a new lesson here:
https://lessons.livecode.com/m/4069/l/1 ... -and-later
In short, at least I have only tested this on mac - you do not have to
uninstall Java 8 before installing a newer version. LiveCode should be
smart enough to pick the newest version.
Also no need to uninstall older versions of the build-tools - you just have
to ensure v34.0.0 or above is installed.
Also, as long as you have a JDK of version 11 or above installed, it should
make no difference whether this is v11.x or v24.x or anything in-between.
I have installed JDK v17 and it works as expected.
