Hi Bernd,
from my understanding you can choose to freely set the following
properties (and we do that for SapMachine, as you can see):
java.vendor = SAP SE
java.vendor.url = https://sapmachine.io
java.vendor.url.bug = https://github.com/SAP/SapMachine/issues/new
java.vm.vendor = SAP SE
The following "specification.vendor" properties have to show the Java
SE spec lead (which currently is Oracle) so you shouldn't change them:
java.specification.vendor = Oracle Corporation
java.vm.specification.vendor = Oracle Corporation
Regards,
Volker
