Pega version 8.8.3 works best with Java 11, and that’s also the most reliable choice when using IBM WebSphere Proprietary information hidden. WebSphere Proprietary information hidden officially supports Java 8 and Java 11, but not Java 17 so even though Pega 8.8.3 technically allows Java 17, you should avoid it unless you're using a different application server. For Java 11, both IBM Semeru (formerly AdoptOpenJDK/OpenJ9) and Oracle JDK are fine, as long as you're using a stable LTS release. Stick with a recent Java 11 update, like 11.0.20 or higher. Just make sure WebSphere and the JDK are both 64-bit, and your JVM settings follow Pega's recommendations (like UTF-8 encoding). This setup will give you the best compatibility and performance
