Structured Adobe FrameMaker 11 - Amazon Corretto (x64) version 21.0.1.12

[defaultxhawfx4ep50f]

My team works with Structured Adobe FrameMaker 11, version 11.0.0.380. There is an internally created Java-based application that runs on FrameMaker that launches a structured XML file from a FrameMaker menu bar selection and imports the XML into FrameMaker, which is then processed into a fully formatted document.

The version of Java currently being used is the following:
Java 8 Update 202

My department is planning on replacing Java with Amazon Corretto:
Amazon Corretto (x64) version 21.0.1.12

Does anyone have any experience working with Structured FrameMaker, along with Amazon Corretto? If so, have there been any performance issues involving Structured FrameMaker?

Any information that can be provided will be helpful.

Thanks

I doubt that your Java app "runs on FrameMaker" - it probably launches FM11 and performs some scripted action built with Framescript (I don't think Extendscript existed in FM11, but I could be wrong on that point). Whether your app will run using Corretto isn't really a FM question I suspect - it's more a question of whether Corretto can run a Java app or if it needs to be rewritten.

ExtendScript was added to FrameMaker 10.

I knew it came along at some point - just couldn't recall when 😁

Thanks for the info

I am not sure of all the internal details of your process, but starting with FrameMaker 2019, FrameMaker is 64-bit and there have been some performance improvements with structured FrameMaker, particularly ditamap processing and PDF generation. You may want to get the FrameMaker 2022 trial and see if your department can test it with Amazon Corretto, perhaps on a separate machine.
