Java Puzzle Ball MOOC
Tried to find the requirements specification for the platform to use while doing the Java Puzzle Ball MOOC.
Preparation before the course would mean one could get off to a flying start.
Nothing on the course page until 1st November.
Is this MOOK run on an Oracle Linux VM?
Any setup required?
Will this MOOK cover Java 8 or 9?

Hi OTG,
Glad to have you in class. Don't worry, the setup is minimal. You'll need Oracle JDK 8 or higher, along with a suitable IDE (like NetBeans 8 or higher). There's no special Oracle Linux VM or anything like that.
Java Puzzle Ball was originally published to run on Java 8. I did a little work recently to make it compatible with Java 9: Java Puzzle Ball with JRE 9

Then my laptop and desktop are OK to go as I have java 8 and 9 installed as well as Netbeans.
