Dear Greg,

> Suggestion to those who maintain the documentation: Perhaps the BaseX documentation should recommend Adoptium for Mac as well as Windows.

Thanks for the suggestion. I’ve added notes on macOS and java.com in
our documentation [1]. In addition, our download page mentions
Homebrew, which is a popular package manager, and which installs a
proper version of Java automatically while installing BaseX [2,3].

All the best,
Christian
