Until now all JAVA JDK versions run on all MacOS versions on all my Mac's.
As my machine won't upgrade to Big Sur, I stick to Catalina
on which JAVA 14 runs fine, with folder permissions for Desktop etc.

Installing JAVA 15 JDK makes all my JAVA applications to fail getting
those permissions: those are still visible in System Preferences
but JAVA 15 doesn't 'see' them. Resetting all permissions cost me a lot
of work granting permissions to various app's, but JAVA 15 does not ask for them.
So I revert to JAVA 14 which asked for permissions and again runs OK.
Any idea's what went wrong?
P.S. I downloaded the .dmg file for JAVA 15 from ORACLE, like so many times before.
;JOOP!
